Battery 26BH

[Chomperoni]

I was thinking of getting 2 batteries for my 2013 26BH and wondering if the current holder accommodates it. Do you have to do modifications?
Is 6V worth the extra money?

Very easy to add a second battery to the existing tray. I added a 300 amp selector switch to mine.

Thanks for the photo. That helps a lot.
I am wondering why you would need the 300 amp switch?
Is that a 12v system or 6V?

I wanted to be able to select either/or battery as well as both and off. The switch is marine grade and was cheap(er) at about $55. The batteries are both 12V. If and when I need to replace them I may go 6V but we don't dry camp hardly at all. We reserve sites in January so we get to pick mostly electric sites.

We have a 2017, 26BH, and upgraded the 12v battery to a pair of 6v batteries. From everything I've read and learned about batteries, I've concluded that a pair of 6v's makes sense if you plan to do any overnights off the grid. I won't try to explain why here....take way to long...but would encourage you to research it and see if you reach the same conclusion.

I thought the battery support on the 26BH looked a little wimpy for carrying a pair of 6v batteries, so I had some heavier angle iron welded to the top of the A frame, directly over the existing support. A local fabrication shop did it for me while I waited and only charged $45.00 for the angle iron and the welding. I did the priming and painting. VERY pleased with the result.
