Hi Everyone,
My original Deka Battery is not holding a charge - it is time to get a new one it is the original that came with my 2010 Hwak
In light of this I mistakenly bought a Group 27 to replace - got home - too big - did some checking realize Im a dolt.
This got me to thinking that this is probably a good time to upgrade my batteries or potentially double up.
I am looking for ideas before I pull the trigger on a new battery.
Situation:
1. Is the extra battery worth the money and losing the storage space?
2. Best way to connect the 2 batteries?
3. Has anyone put 2 x group 31's or 27's? Do they fit in the original battery box.
Hoping to generate some conversation and hear about other peoples experiences.
BTW the owner of the shop is really encouraging me to with Power Surge - which is somehow affiliated with deka and it is about 60 buks cheaper.

Situation:
- I have portable solar which I am not crazy about - as it seems to keep malfunctioning
- My Hawk has a full load - I live in a cold climate - extra battery would be nice for the furnace
- I run a propane fridge
- I have a Honda Generator to augment power if required -but it is cumbersome to carry around.
- I am preparing my Hawk for a trip to Baja this Winter
- Not interested in a permanently mounted solar
