    Rt198P battery question

    Does the Rt198P come with the same group 27 batteries as the Rt188 or can it fit The larger group batteries in the battery tray?

    There is enough room in there to fit 6 batteries if you want. Thats no joke, there is a ton of room in the back. the factory battery trays have 3 batteries, they are interstate batteries cant remember the group though.

    Yeah I’ve seen the room in the back, very impressive. Just didn’t know if I would have to change the factory battery trays out or if they would fit the group 29 or 31 batteries.

    by the looks of the trays, I would say you would need to change them out. They fit just right with the factory batteries but not much room to increase size.

    I had the dealer put 31’s in my 198p for the trolling motor, they will not fit in the trays for the size 27’s.

    This is what I did too but also had them install a 31 sized tray for my AGM cranking battery as well.
