If you couldn't see the pictures, it may be because you have not purchased the $12 per year membership.

It's really handy having both batteries in one, hinged, box. It's far easier to check the water, clean the battery tops and attach clip-on accessories like a portable air compressor etc.

JoeDaddy -

You should be able to see the pics. Post #13 has some, post #33 has some more, and post #40 has some great ones. This is a really long thread - are you sure you have scrolled down far enough?

Bill,

Something missing here? Your post is the last one in this thread - I am not seeing anymore posts.

I think Bill was referring to Posts 13, 33 and 40 in the link that Wayne copied into his Post #2 of this thread.

Confusing enough!

Lightbulb Another perfect post from Bill (almost).

In 2007, I believe, the converter was replaced with a WFCO unit, and the consensus seems to be that this is a much better unit....
Bill, the actual start date for WFCO units was a bit earlier: My built-to-order 2006 model contains one. But your guess for Joe remains perfect: If it's 2005, then it's going to be one of the predecessors.

Yes, thanks for clarifying where the photos were, certainly I did not see the additional pages of responses. Very helpful thread as it shows the kind of battery box I will eventually get for my unit.
