Battery size for 1988 9000S
Posted by Jack Brooks (more from Jack Brooks) on Thu, 27 Jan 2000 09:55:39
When I bought my last battery, I went through some minor gyrations to get a larger battery into the tray. Some minor bending of the hold down clamp was required. I no longer have a record of the Group number designation (size) of this Interstate battery, although it measures out at 10.25' long x 7' wide x 7' high. Although this should be enough to pick up a new one at Costco (manufactured by Johnson Controls, good batteries), does anyone know the correct Group number for the larger battery?
Did I miss the size designation on the case? I couldn't find it.
BTW - number one cell is starting to short out. The voltage drops from 12.65 to 12.41 overnight. This Interstate battery (also by Johnson Controls) is 6 years old and has survived two bad voltage regulators.
Thanks in advance,
Jack Brooks 1988 9000S 1960 TR3A 1974 Norton 850 Commando Hillsdale, NJ
