Group 400 Alternatives and Closest Battery Groups by Dimensions
There are no direct interchangeable alternatives for group 400 battery if we speak about dimensions, but if your battery space hasn't strict limits, you can choose a little bigger or smaller battery group. If your battery compartment cannot accommodate a larger battery, you can choose a smaller one. In both cases, you must securely fasten your new battery with a battery holder. If your battery holder can't hold the alternative battery group, you can buy a universal battery holder to fit in different types of batteries.
Similar Battery Groups With the Same Length, Width and Voltage
These dimensions will fit you in 99% of cases when you want to use a different battery group instead of a 400 battery since most battery compartments have a height margin and strict limitations on height and width only, which match batteries in the table below. Please check the battery compartment before you buy a battery from this group.

How to Get 24 Volts from 12V of a 400 Battery Group
If you need 24 Volts, you can connect two group 400 batteries in series to double the voltage. The voltage of a series connection is equal to the sum of the voltages of all its batteries. If one 12V lead-acid battery is connected to another 12V lead-acid battery, you have 24V total power output. Each battery must be fully charged and completely isolated from the other before connecting them in series, or there will be damage to at least one of them.
Increasing a Capacity of 400 Batteries with a Parallel Connection
If you need to increase current capacity and reduce charging time, connect batteries in parallel. When group 400 batteries are in parallel, their voltage is equal to the voltage of one battery, while current capacity equals to the sum of all its battery capacities. If you have two 12V lead-acid batteries with 60 Ah capacity and you connect them in parallel, you'll get 12 Volts with 120 Ah.
