Replacement Battery Size

[AJM81CJ8]

I'm sure this has been discussed a thousand times, but I can't find any info using the search, SO.....

What size batteries fit in the stock battery tray? Group 55 and 56 batteries seem to be pretty hard to come by and there isn't a large selection available. Also, recommendations on brands/ places to buy are appreciated.

Group 34 is about as big as you can fit (if you haven't already, you will need to remove the spacer bracket from the battery tray)

Good to know. I've got the battery tray out right now, as I am rebuild/restoring my heater box and fresh air plenum. I was going to strip it and repaint it while I had it out.

34/78 fits the stock battery tray and hold down best in my opinion. I'm using this one with good success:

Agreed...I put the same Odyssey 34-PC1500T battery in the stock tray on my Scrambler. I had a pair of them in my '13 Rubicon. Amazon also sells them. Since the Scrambler sometimes sits for a month or two, I keep the battery charged with a 100-watt, 2' x 4' solar panel.
