New batteries are installed...

Well, it took some pretty heavy lifting, but my weight training is complete. The new US-125 batteries are installed in Electro. I still have one new cable to make to complete the series string (remember, I now have 16 batteries instead of 15), but I should have the hardware for that today or tomorrow. As I expected, these units fit very well into the existing design, even though they are taller than the original Exide Orbitals.

I will be wiring in the auxiliary battery soon, and then it's time for another test drive!

Hello my pretties

Picked them up this afternoon in Seattle. What a handsome bunch. Heavier than my Exides by ~23 lbs. each, this total pack weighs 1072 lbs. Let's hear it for lead baby!

New batteries are in

I got the call yesterday that my 16 US-125 XC 6V 242 Ah batteries are ready for pickup in Seattle.
Sweet! I'll be picking them up tomorrow.
