I replaced the battery that came with my Jayco travel trailer with this one. A few things you probably will want to know. The battery dimensions are:
13.1 x 6.9 x 8.6 inch / 332 x 175 x 219 mm - no group size is printed on the battery, if you want this to fit your application, those measurements should help.
Secondly, if you are used to seeing the standard pos and neg automotive type posts on the top of the battery and need them for your application - you will need to buy screw in posts separately. The battery only comes with minimal, terminal hardware. If you are using this in a camper like I am, you'll want to make sure you purchase the posts separately. Mine will be delivered tomorrow so I'm not going to advise which ones to buy (yet). Alternatively - you may find that it's far better to just replace the connectors on the camper side instead. Just keep in mind that if you are upgrading from a battery that looks like a typical automotive battery, you will definitely need to update your connectors for this one. The 'battery bolts' that come with the battery that you would typically connect your 'load' to are 8mm bolts. ( M8 x 1.25 x 20 mm ).
This battery is a heavy beast and is almost too heavy for me to move myself. If you will be moving it around more than a couple times a year, definitely keep this in mind as it's feels much heavier than the battery that came with my camper... which was a more manageable typical automotive size. This battery has 30 amp hours more than the one it is replacing so that explains it, just be forewarned that it's *heavy*.
My battery and battery box arrived undamaged which is a small miracle. The packaging was clearly up to the task, but just barely. The outside of the box showed a decent amount of damage. Battery is made in Vietnam, so to get to me here in Colorado, it passed many hands along the way.
I have a small, 1 amp maintenance charger that I actually use for my Jet Ski, but I am currently charging the battery with that. It does not arrive fully charged, which I expected to be the case. This battery should pair nicely with my 300 watt solar panel setup on my camper. I will report back after I have some real world use. Shipping was fast.. as I've been tracking this product for a few weeks now, I've noticed that the shipping times (for Prime) vary from 2 days, to 6+ depending on the day I am looking. I guess it depends on which warehouse fulfills the order, but it only took 2 days for me to get mine.
Despite living in a fairly large city, finding a battery like this locally is usually a pretty big pain. No core charge, included shipping. It's a great option. The big risk you are taking is if your battery shows up undamaged. Mine is perfect. You place your bets and you take your chances on that one.
