8V92 alternator questions
This one had 6 12v Group 24s until a bit over a month ago. Swapping out for
6-volt Golf Cart batteries is a common method of increasing capacity. They have
nearly the same footprint as the Group 24, but are taller.

6 Group 24s is 450AH (6*75), while 6 Golf Carts in series-parallel is 660AH
(3*220). Golf Cart batteries are also designed for sustained discharge at
significant output.

The one tradeoff is a loss in high-power output. The Group 24s are rated for 500
Cold-Cranking Amps, while the CCA of a GC battery is 800, so you get 3000
(6*500) vs 2400 (3*800). I worried a bit about that, but reading, and experience
since, indicates that 2000 is plenty for starting an 8V92.
