Group 31 battery tray experiences

Anyone have long term experience with a group 31 battery installed? Which mount did you use? Any cracking issues with the fender/support (ive seen issues with the 2nd gen trucks).

My father in law gave me a couple of Deka Dominator AGM batteries. Plan on using one in my trailer so I'll have a spare. It only has 450 CCA but 98 ah reserve. This would allow me to move my fridge to the truck. Will the CCA be a problem?

 

3rd Gen has the same thin sheetmetal and will crack.

Well damn, guess I'll avoid that idea. The new battery is 78 lbs which im assuming is significantly more than the stock battery.

 

Typical 27f battery is around 50 lbs.

 

whats a good lightweight battery recommendation? only ditch lights as accessories and don't plan on adding anything else

 

You can look into some Odyssey Batteries, some of them are on the smaller and lighter side but are plenty powerful.
