I looked into that and one would have to remount the nuts. It was more work than I wanted to do. If the factory holes weren't there it would be a piece of cake.

A key question here is what is your desired charge current? Your two packs are similar enough that using 10,20,30,40 amps current may just make the choice for you. At least it'll narrow it down a lot.
