Looking into first major mod for The DeLaPODza and am going to do the 6V series line up. I did a search and didnt find anything specific to a write up on this mod and will start this thread off by asking for tips or tricks on doing this with a TT, I am motorhead and have worked with electrcals on cars but I hear the TT are a lil different, so any help is appreciated. I will go shopping around the island later this week and am sure I will be limited on the make of battery I will be able to get.
 
While doing this I will get some pics with steps and do a "how to" install on this thread. Hopefully I can get this done within the next month of so.
 
Thanks for your input.

Most use the GC2's from Sam's. You wire them in series. You can use 2 separate battery boxes, a long single one, or put on a pickup truck box to house them.

From what I've read extensively on this topic, Trojan T-105 batteries seem to be the gold-standard for 6v batteries. They aren't the cheapest out there, but with proper maintenance (water levels checked at least once a year and topped off with distilled water; ALWAYS left on a 3 stage computer controlled charger when not being used) they can last 10 years or more.
