Re: 12 volt vs 8 volt
Switching to 12v batteries.
Pros- minor reduced battery cost (some times no difference in cost), slight weight reduction. Cons- everything else- reduced battery overall lifespan, reduced range per charge. 12v (t-1275) batteries won't easily fit in your current battery tray. I would say "never do that" about the swap you are considering. I do swaps in the opposite direction all the time. |

i would stay away from the Duracell.....Trojan then US batteries IMHO are by far the best batteries you can use
