So I have used them for several years, getting about 4 years life, sometimes almost 5 years. Today had to buy again. Asked the man about a 12 volt unit to replace the two 6 volt. The #3EH has 1050 cranking amps. He sold me one #31P which has 1250 amps. Saved big $$$. Had to make wooden spacers so that the clamp frame would hold it tight. It does seem to work well, but is much smaller than the two together. Anyone else made such substitutions? What did you use and what were the results?
