Andy,the Onan has accepted its new friend and is no longer "spilling its seed". The old battery had similar dimensions, maybe CCA increased with technology. It is overkill, but is Onan specified, and the original IG battery box is the right size. It would start the Lehmans no sweat, so is good back up. Some PO had it running the 12v fridge, not so good if you flattened it and needed the genset, though the beer would be cold.
Art, that battery maker might give you free one if you tell them how long it has lasted. Amazing performance.
