the 955H originally used 4-6v batteries in series.
Part # 8F2142 RPB 5S7219 Group type 2 or 2H
Google Cat batteries for info on specs.

You will have to make your own mount to run a belt drive alternator in place of the generator.

I wonder if a 4D would fit in each battery box area? These are around a 1000 amps at 12 volts each.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
