I did the whole 34 - PC1500 thing and was very disappointed. After only a few years, it cooked and deep cycled to the point that it had to go on a charger every other night in order to stay starting the Jeep. Considering the roughly $300 price tag, I wasn’t happy. Especially any time I winched anything I would draw the battery down to a point that it needed an overnight on the charger to be happy.
My next attempt is to go bigger and cheaper and to add solar. I just put in a group 27 from the O’Reily house brand that only ran me $90. It was a drop in with just minor issues. I hope to get better life out of this one since it can actually be maintained, if that turns out to be wrong, at least it was cheap.
I’m probably working on battery terminal modifications this weekend to address the post on wrong side issue. Garage casting aluminum is always fun. I’ll try to remember to take pics for everyone.
