New Batteries? February 28, 2019, 10:10:15 pm Hey Folks,Still running original Trojan 105s on our MB 2008. I have used pro fill system over the years and the batteries have held up. I have noticed that the generator is starting to struggle a little on startup. 11 years tells me that I need to plan for new batteries sooner rather than later. Can anyone talk me into buying batteries other than Trojans? I’m open to any suggestion. We do not have solar. Thanks, Bill

Eleven years isn't too bad.In the industrial world, Trojan is the standard.There are cheaper batteries available, if initial price is a consideration .Larry
