Trojan Batteries And Chargers

[orbitalsolutions]

Hello, Fred. According to the Trojan Web Site the dimentions are
identical for the T-105 and the T-125. The T-145 is apx. 7/8 of an
inch taller with the same footprint.

I do not know what a Blue Point filler is. Sounds interesting
though. I fill my batteries with a baster and an eye droper. I get
the job done eventually, with minimum spilliage and believe I can do
the same with the taller T-145's in my '78 FC.

I still have not priced the T-145's, but they are a nice jump in
AH's, at 12VDC you can add a useable 70 AH's !!
