I don't see the appeal here. A single group 31 will outperform the pair of these. Of course it depends on where you need to squeeze them is.

I realize these aren't deep cycle batteries, but at Cold Cranking Amps - 625 Reserve Capacity - 160 Cranking Amps - 750

would 2 of these in series power a Truckfridge for 2 hot days?
(assuming 50% fridge duty cycle)
