I don't think I can fit two 6v batteries in my Axis. Has anyone ever tried? It might depend on the placement of the terminals.

J185H-AC is $306 and a T105 is $162 at The Solar Biz Better pricing can be found for the T105 though their price on the 12V caught my attention.



Not many choices for the Axis/Vegas battery compartment for sure! I was going to swap out the GC batteries from our previous RV and discovered they were just a bit too tall. Only option I've found is lithium and I'm having a difficult time justifying the expense.

The Trojan battery catalog shows various 12-Volt AGM batteries that are under 10 inches high. I'm guessing you prefer flooded but if considering lithium, perhaps AGMs are not out of question.

For what it's worth, the Trojan representatives at Tampa show said they would have an expanded line of AGMs starting in June, which will include tall batteries like L16 size. They are not looking at lithium technology at present (according to reps), but I think they may be expanding AGM lines to better compete with lithium.


Ty, thanks for pricing information. That's a good price for a large 3 kW-hr battery.
