Ron from Eco Auto sold me 5 Discover EV31A-A AGM 100 Amp Hr batteries. AGM are Absorbed Glass Mat, which are spill proof and sealed. This is a big plus because they won't leak acid or gas into the passenger area and won't require building an acid proof box. They are Group 31 which are only about an 3/4 of an inch longer than the Group 27 Walmart batteries I was originally planning on. Also these are 72 lbs. compared to the 62 lbs. I had planned on. So, an extra 60 lbs., which shouldn't effect performance too much. About like having a full tank of gas.
