Mep-002 Battery group size

[trooper632]

Hello eveyone, does someone know off the top of their head what group size batteries are used in the Mep002 5KW generator

Uses two, 2HN 12v batteries.

2HN batteries are not available. You can likely use two 51R batteries in place of the 2HN batteries.

I use two Walmart EverStart's, I forget the Group size but I pitched the 2HN hold down brackets and bolted in a couple of plastic battery boxes. About fifteen years ago I priced a couple of 2HN's from Deka and they were insanely expensive, so I went to Walmart.

You can sometimes get 2HN's from Tractor Supply.... apparently they are still used in Farm equipment.
I've seen them in my local store, but currently not seeing them on their web site.
Otherwise 51 or 51R, both will work but the 51R is 50CCA more than the 51.

These work well in my MEP-002A
Pricey but worth it to me.

Just measure the trays and hold down brackets and find the best size cross
