I have some more in process but still a ways out. I'll post up when I get close and the paint is drying!

I sent you a PM

Yes, although I need to paint them. It might add a day to the ship time. I will always keep some on hand as I use them automatically on every unit I come across. If I run out I'll make more! Just send me a PM when you are ready.

Sigo, Glad to hear it arrived okay and is working well. I've been working on several units since December and I noticed today that Advance Auto has put their Auto Craft U1-1 batteries on sale for $21.99 each. Last year they had them for the same price and kept renewing through March. The...

$105 for everything except batteries, includes hardware, cable, disconnect, and shipping with insurance and tracking to the lower 48. Send a PM if interested. I had originally stated $75 for just the tray and top clamp in another post a while back. +cable $7, disconnect $5, UPS boxing $7...

Here are some pics of the finished battery tray conversion. I revised the design so that no drilling is needed. They drop right in place and bolt up. The 701A will require removal of the sound insulation inside the one panel. This is easily accomplished by drilling out the aluminum rivets...

Okay - Update: I have finished fabrication of 12 battery tray assemblies and now need to paint them. I can do the Rapco CARC 686 Tan and the Rapco CARC 383 Green. The weather is bad here for painting but as soon as possible I'll post up some pics of the finished and painted design. I made...

This has been a trial and error process and I am pretty happy with my 4th generation design. I will be making 12 trays and using 6 myself on this initial run. I have the materials all cut and drilled. I am currently making a weld fixture. I'm going to be away until Dec 27. Then I will be making...

I used the Advance Auto " Autocraft" and Tractor Supply u1 batteries. They will both fit my battery tray and they will fit in a 701A

That height will work.

Yes that battery will fit as far as the base dimensions. Check the height. I have been using Autocraft U1 batteries, and I noticed die hard and other are very similar.

My design is for the U1-1 case size. So if the dimensions and post layout are the same you are okay. There is not much wiggle room. I have been keeping the 24vdc slave outlet intact. I will offer the jumper wire if needed. They are 4ga welding lead with copper ends. I obtained enough steel...

The 10 or so I've done all have the removable lead post clamps. The cable ends you see in my pics are the ones that were bolted to the lead post clamps. I just unbot them and throw them in a pile. Sometimes the bolts are frozen but they are easily broken off with some big wrenches. I have...

Here are pics of my latest design. The 701A needs the cover reworked in order to fit. But it will fit pretty easy. Hopefully I will be buying the steel next week to get started.

Okay. That's a good timeframe. I'll have them done by then. I'll just re-post on this thread when some are available.

I have converted around 10 or so units from the 24 volt 4HN battery to a pair of Lawn and Garden 12 volt U1-1 batteries. I do this to add value and make it easier to get batteries and easier to keep them charged or jump them with a 12 volt vehicle. Despite having dimensions to cut all of the...
