Reply to Going from 8 to 4 house batteries
Hi Tom,
Yes, we did. After a lot of research (and consultation with knowledgeable sources), we decided that it was a little too complicated and best to take it to Marathon. We reduced from 8 to 4 house batteries, and had a group 31 and isolator installed for the generator. They did a great job. Thanks!

Don, I’ll still be watching for a house for sale in your neighborhood…I want you for a neighbor!

Going from 8 to 4 house batteries
Our house batteries are overdue for replacement. At the same time, our goal is to reduce our front end weight on the steer tires by going from 8 4d batteries to only 4. Lithium just doesn’t make sense in our case, as we use our generator whenever the bus engine isn’t running and primarily run “pole to pole”. Attached is the current house…
