Here was my upgrade

For the OP I installed my 4 Trojans today removing the two 12v. As you can see the battery box barely fits but is doable. Even if you only buy two 12V you should still buy the 4 battery box so you can easily upgrade. You can just build a filler to take up the extra space.

As mentioned above I purchased 4 Trojan T105 Plus 225 AH $125 Ea no tax and no core required ($500 total )https://www.onlinebatterysale.com/store/

the Battery Box was purchased from All Battery Sales and Service $80 https://allbatterysalesandservice.co...atteries-gcq-g

I bought the 2" vent for the lid from Amazon $5

I Just ordered the Watering system for $79 so they will for the most part be Maintenance free as I will gravity feed the system.

Total Cost of new 4 new batteries and box $665



Nice setup, but it is incorrectly wired. Either the + or - lead needs to move to the other end of the parallel connection.
