Can you get me a part number off the batteries? If it was a .75 reactive load id say around 6,000 plus but I cant say for sure because of not knowing the actual reactive load

You are definitely going to need more batteries. If you buy the same ones you have now, then at least 2 more maybe 3. They are 55ah each so you have about 110ah now.

I use the odyssey 2150 batts in mine. Also yes I built a false floor for the box to sit on and then I screw the box down to the false floor and the back self. Seems to work good

I would do that. Look for batteries with high ah ratings. I would try to get around 300ah all together.

New about $400 each. I get them local. Used for $150 each. Usually 6-8 months old if that. They come from city busses
