I have received and installed my kit from ETN and can state that it is expertly designed and manufactured. It installed into the 701 with the batteries in about 30 minutes without any issues. The full set of instructions made the installation a breeze. I highly recommend this kit for...

Excellent work. My two batteries from Advance are ready and waiting. As far as I am concerned, you can paint them any color you wish.

Thanks for the update. I decided to stay within your dimension parameters and found a perfect battery at Advance. It has the exact dimensions as stated and it was obtainable with discounts for $35. per battery...

After researching the SLA batteries, it appears they will be a poor choice for durability. Many of them don't make it two years. So, I find that Wal-Mart has the U1P-7 battery, 275CCA, for an excellent price of $28.57. The dimensions are: L 8.25 x W 5.8125 x H 7.8125 It has a bit of a...

Thanks. The real question is whether these AGM batteries are worth the expense and effort? In a standby condition where their use is, effectively, zero for their entire lives, would they be a better choice over a flooded battery? There will be no charge/discharge cycles for the batteries...

Is it the situation that any venting from these batteries is undesirable and causes a permanent loss of electrolyte? There is no possibility of adding any electrolyte to replace any lost? I had better find a smart charger for them, I suppose.

The two are in series and the charging voltage is going to be something north of 24V. I expect to put a trickle charger on them when they they are sitting (99% of the time).

The height appears to be 6.14" but there is some conflicting info regarding it. Isn't the height somewhat irrelevant? There appears to be plenty of headroom above the top of the battery.

The U1 battery is slightly different in size, dependent on the manufacturer. Length seems to vary from 7 11/16 to 8 1/4. Width varies between 5 1/8 to 5 13/16. This UB 12350 has a length of 7 11/16 and a width of 5 1/8. Can you confirm if these dimensions are satisfactory for the frame? It...

I'm inclined to spend the extra funds for the durability of the new AGM technology. Any issue with the UB12350 battery? A pair can be had from Amazon for about $125. or so. I'd like to get them headed this way if they fit. Might even start the machine for the first time............

Yep.........right on the money. The lead post clamps were easily removable. I also took the liberty of removing the auxiliary 24V socket with attached cables. One of those cables will make a perfect jumper cable with the addition of a suitable eyelet. Looking forward to your...

Thanks for the info. I need to check a bit more closely to see if this unit has the removable lead post clamps. Hopefully, I can simply remove them as you have done.

Your photos show eyelets attached to the ends of the generator supply cables. Have you installed those? My current 701 has the standard automotive type clamps which won't fit the batteries as shown.

I'm new to the forum after searching for a suitable battery for the mep 701. I recently picked up a mep 701. Of course it doesn't have a battery. I'd be very interested in your supporting frame with a suitable top cable between the two batteries. I had planned to use two 12V automotive...
