Information from manufacturer on battery for FR3

[progolfer]

Does anyone know where I can find any info on the batteries from the manufacture for the FR3? Thanks for all information.

Great question. My house batteries have no marking on them at all. No name brand no numbers, nothing.


2014 FR330 DS

Best thing you can do is give FR a call. I know it's a PITA to call them but, what else can you do.... 😁

These are factory.

You have dual use trolling batteries...size 24...so you have about 75 amp hours of capacity for deep cycle use before you hit 50% depleted and need to recharge.
I think they are using a variety of mfr's ...but all seem to be dual 24grp dual purpose wet cells...I think the black unlabled ones are Chinese.
These are fine for plug in use in campgrounds...but will deplete quickly while boondocking and offer far fewer cycles than a true pair of deep cycle batteries. 10.87" W x 6.75" D x 9.87" H

Get the marine deep cycle from Wal
Mart. If you have room go one size larger.

Looking at the FR3.... Would you want to replace at some point with deep cycle 6 volt batteries???

Wal Mart does not sell a true deep cycle 12v battery. It is a dual purpose deep cycle.
You CAN occasionally find 6v true deep cycle batts there...but a pair only is a risk since if one goes bad you have no fallback option. They are great in a 4+ battery boondocking setup. SAMS club usually has them.
Go as large as you can fit in the space is excellent advice.
Group 24....75 amp hours
Group 27... 95 amp hours
Group 31....105 amp hours ... on average.

I have a 2014 317RL Wildcat 36ft and would like your input on how my new truck will handle my trailer. Do I need a dully or will the single rear wheel handle the trailer. Is the 3/4ton strong enough to carry my trailer without any overload issues? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

Jallen...suggest you post your question in the Wildcat subforum rather than in a thread about batteries. Here:
