    Arctic Package and batteries

    I am considering buying a 2650s from a person out of state. In our conversations he did not know if he has the Arctic Package. Was that an option on the model or do they all come with it? Second question is what group size batteries does it have. Would they two be 6V or 12V?

Specifically a 200 ah LifePo4 battery...
