I would just replace it with a standard group 41 battery-from Wal-Mart due
to a good price and excellent warranty program. The Yellow top or equivalent
is just too much money for  what it offers and it's reliability is not
impressive.

Subject: Dead Yellowtop house battery

I'm in Bennington CT on the road to Windham NY and my house battery (model
SC34DU) is dead, only putting out 6V.

I've checked Bond, Advantage and Walmart but have not found one that fits in
the space behind the drivers seat.

The old one just fits under the swivel seat mount, with a rubber cover in
place of the metal top.

I'm open to any suggestions, I can barely get water from the tap.
