Trojan Batteries And Chargers

[fred89sp]

I have T 125s (taller than the T 105s) in my 89SP and my Blue Point
battery filler just fits.

How do you top off your batteries with the added height of the T 145s,
have you found a lower profile battery filler?

sure you have the room for the higher batteries in the compartment.
They are in a 89 SP 36'. I had T-105's in my 79 FC that worked good also.
