    Anyone here planning to install this battery in 1st gen?

    @ramonortiz55 I am interested a dual battery setup. I know it depends on the number of people interested, but do you have a rough idea of when we will get the shipment..a ballpark?

    On a 1st gen, a 24F is the largest size that will fit in the stock location. Where were you thinking of mounting the second battery?

    A quick search on Northstar website shows that both these batteries fit: NSB-AGM-24F and NSM-AGM-35. Would that a mistake, you think?
    I am planning to mount the second on the passenger side firewall. I am currently doing some research on where to install for first gen and did not decide yet.

    A 35 has less capacity the a 24F but I'm sure either size will work. I chose to use 24Fs because of the capacity and because the positive/negative post location. I'd suggest 2 of the same size either way. If you have the room over the passenger fender (no ABS controller there) that is a convenient location for the house battery.

    I searched on your posts and did not find any. Curious if you have a dual battery setup?

    I do. House battery is in the bed. Used 00 gauge with a BlueSea ML-ACR controller. No room in my engine bay.

    I'll take two as well. Not sure if they will be 35's or 24's. Still waiting for an answer on fitment, but definitely in.

    I placed an order for two NSB-AGM-24F. Planning to use one as a starter battery and another for applications in cab. I did some research and I found that deep cycle battery can be used as a starter battery without a problem. Am I wasting money here just ordering another 24F instead of just getting a regular starter and better off with it?

    @Digiratus you mentioned about using two 24Fs too. Is one of them used as a starter battery. Could you please share your experience?

    Yes, the Northstar AGM can easily handle starting duties and also be used in deep discharge situations like a second battery on a expo rig.

    On my rig, I have a 24F in the stock location for starting duties and a 2nd 24F mounted in the bed to run the fridge, the Ham, the CB, the stereo amps, the inverter and powers all my bed lights and RTT accessories.
