Well, I was lucky enough to pick up a sponsorship through NorthStar battery company. They seen my truck at SEMA with the Telcom batteries in the Bed and wanted to talk with me. They had no Idea I lived in their back yard. So after a few months here we are with Two of their new Blue Top G-31 AGM engine start batteries. Here are the specs for each of these batteries.
NSB G-31M
12 volts
1150 Cold Cranking Amps
1370 Marine Cranking Amps
2150 Pulse Cranking Amps
205 Minute Reserve Capacity
Electrical characteristics
BCI Group Number 31m
SAE Terminal configurations
Capacity - 20 Hour Rate 100Ah
Capacity - 10 Hour Rate 92Ah
Internal Resistance 2.2 m
Short Circuit Current 5000A
Measurements
Height w/Terminal 9.12 in
Width 6.77 in
Length w/Rib 12.91 in

I started today cutting and welding. The idea behind their AGM design is that the battery can be mounted in almost any way except inverted. So I decided to use that to my advantage. I'll be building a battery rack in place of the stock battery tray and will mount one there as it usually is. I Decided to put the second battery on the passenger side and will be mounted on it's side. So far i only have the passenger side backet fabbed up but the driver side will come later this week.
