Everything above seems to be focused on the symptom; none on the real problem.
I have four 24 volt vehicles.
None are so hard to start that they drain the batteries down; 24 volt systems will crank a long time.
I recommend you fix the problem and stop chasing batteries, which, ultimately, will just repeat the disappointment.
One of my jobs was teaching at C&GSC at Leavenworth. Not the Big House one!
A course on problem solving, the hardest part for people to do is to define the Problem.
We do not want to drain the swamp; (although that is one COA); all we need to do it get to the other side.
But people naturally tend to chase solutions and ignore the problem. Human nature.
