None of  the local vendors show anything in deep discharge that fits

What are Canadians using for their second battery? It can't be  higher
than about 8".

If you go back to the very  beginning of this thread where it all started I
stated that there is ONLY one  deep cycle battery that fits and there will have
to be some slight modifications  to the battery box to fit.  It's the OPTIMA
Yellow Top.  And I don't  recommend it for all of the reasons in the mile long
thread that's been going on  now for two or three days !    Geeze, is it only
me who reads ALL  the messages every day ?  I'd better get a new life !
