A. Nominal voltage: 12V
B. Nominal capacity at 20 hour discharge rate: minimum 17Ah, maximum 18.2Ah
C. Shape: Rectangular

D. Nominal Dimensions:7.1 in x 3in. x 6.6 in (+/- .1 in. for each dimension)
E. Nominal weight: 11lbs to 14.5 lbs

Examples of batteries which meet this criteria include:

specification. The battery charger output should not exceed 6 amps
and they must have the corresponding Anderson connector installed.
