Well, consider yourself lucky. I bought two NAPA coach batts, as NAPA was the only store open . They work well, but I went to the NAPA website and asked for the full specs. Got ignored. Twice. Called the store. They are clueless. Please tell me where you got the specs. I understand Exide makes most of NAPAs batteries. I'd like a NAPA chart for reference.

Click on the link in MELM's post. Goes to the Exide battery website. Nothing says that the people behind the counter (even at NAPA though it is unusual for them not to) have to know where get "all" the answers, just the most common ones (like "will this battery fit my car/truck/RV").

NAPA

OP here. Thanks everyone. I have two ~85 AH batteries. When they die, I am going to get 2 Trojans if they will fit the box, but since these batteries have only been in use for a year, I won't be doing this soon.
