Our new to us rig came with a new group 31 exide battery. The battery compartment isn't big enough to install a second group 31, but is for a 27. Can this be done or do the batterys have to be the same group? Need more amp hrs for a thanksgiving trip and don't want to run the gen to recharge.
Thanks for any help, Jim

The batteries should be the same group and age. Sell the one you have, and buy two of the same size. My recomendation is to look for something other than SLI (starting) batteries, and also don't buy "marine" batteries. You can find good 12-volt and 6-volt deep cycle batteries.
