Hummingbird Group 27 battery

[RufusBC]

Hi,

I’m looking to swap out our dealer supplied Group 24 battery for a better one for boondocking trips, which we do often. Does anyone use a Group 27 battery on their Hummingbird? I forgot to take measurements and the bird is in storage. I figure it will fit without doing any mods. Any suggestions on a battery would be welcomed. I’m going for a deep cycle AGM 12 volt. No 6 volts because of the additional tongue weight.
I have this in my sights Carmanah CMH-AGM-100. We use a GoPower 120 solar set up.

Thanks

I replaced my 24 with a 27 from Walmart and a new plastic box from Amazon, without any modification on my 17RK

May consider 6 volt golf car battery. We mostly dry camp just bought 2 interstate 6V. I think the amp hours were like 225. Much better than the two twelves we had! Thanks

I would like to go that route but the tongue weight is already at the limit.

Good point that would be important, the 6V weigh 59 lbs. each. thanks

My weight limit for a new group 27 is 57lbs. Perfect world I would go the 6 volt way......

Battery Question. If I am away from power and battery goes dead if I plug into my Truck will I be able to operate slide on my Humming bird.

Yes, with the TV engine running.

To save your TT battery, disconnect it if you are going to be away for a few days.

Consider a single 12 v group 31
