I use two Trojan T-125's. Specs are: 10 3/8L x 7 1/8W x 11 3/16H and
weigh 66 lbs. each.  These are the type used in industrial equipment.
They[Trojans] should be placed in an enclosed space and vented to the
outside. Mine reside mostly in a box

If the vehicle is not moved (or started) fresh ones [Trojans] will last
3-5 days depending on the time of year. Obviously in sub-freezing
weather they will be getting a workout. As a p0rnographer I'm usually on
the move so it's been a trouble free system.
