My current battery setup is two group 34 yellow top Optimas. They have worked out OK for me. When I camp, I sometimes wish I had more battery capacity for the fridge and such. Well, I'm needing a new battery in my tractor and so was thinking about moving the accessory battery out of the cruiser into the tractor and putting something bigger in there.
I'm looking at the deep cycle / starting type AGM batteries. My second battery tray is an ARB unit and will just not hold a group 31 without major modification. I'm now looking at a X2Power 27M battery, which is only 10% less capacity than their group 31 (90Ah vs. 100Ah). This is still much more capacity than the yellow Optima, which is only 50Ah. Even this 27M battery will require modding of the battery tray, but much less.
My question: Is there any problem running batteries of different sizes? Both are deep cycle / starting AGM batteries. My battery management system is a simple A, B, both or none switch. TIA.
