I’m switching to two 6V batteries. I got a long battery box where they will sit end to end. As a solution to the inaccessibility, I’m adding a door to the side of the compartment and putting the battery box on a slide with a drop-down leg (similar to what’s under the tables inside) to make it a whole lot easier to service/remove/install the batteries.
Ya..... putting those 80# batteries in that battery box was interesting but I'm 75-years-old. I did it but I wish that I would have had my son do it.

The LiFeP04 battery is only 45#. That was easy and you never have to check fluids or be concerned about venting.
