(71.94.238.133) | I needed to replace the domestic batteries in coach #386 so I did a little online checking. I like using two 6 volt golf cart batteries connected in a series manner rather than two twelve volt units connected in parallel.
After some research, I found the ones at BattiesPlus that are labeled as Duracell match what I have purchased elsewhere for more money.

The two 6 volt batteries are much easier to check the water than two 12 volt units in my opinion. | |

(71.94.238.133) | I have never seen hold downs in the domestic battery box under the driver's feet. I have put small wooden spacers to prevent shifting of the batteries. | |

(204.10.247.1) | When I was shopping batteries for #850, I ended up just using two 12v bats because I didn't want to change the hold down hardware. I guess I could of used 6v bats if I would of done some more homework... | |
