Stock Battery
Post by k8icu on Sept 16, 2006, 5:40pm

Did the M715 use the 2HN or the 6TN batteries?

If it was the 2HN which I think it was, does anyone have any data on them? Amps, Height, Width, Length...etc.

Thanks

2HN batt's were stock but I run a couple of group 24 batts that work. The spec on the 2HN:

Cold crank 400, reserve cap 75, weight wet 34lbs, dry 25lbs, length 10.25, width 5.25, height 9

Thanks Hiker. I would have thought they had more power than that. 400 cold amps is rather low.

It's a small batt compaired to most. The closest civilian battery that fits the M38A1 is something out of a sports car. The M715 will fit almost any car batt. I've seen the 2HN's sell on ebay fairly resonable price, dry charged, but shipping is a killer.

I'm going to try to find a civilian equivilant in size and when I do I'll post up about it.
