    Age old dual battery fitment question re: Century batteries

    Hi all,

    I know this topic has been covered, but i couldnt find anything particular to these two batteries.

    I am wanting to get the following two batteries

    N70ZZL4WD
    Century N70ZZL4WD Hi Performance
    Length 305mm x Width 172mm x Height 225mm

    and

    C12-100DA
    Century C12-100DA Deep Cycle - AGM
    Length 306.5mm x Width 168.5mm x Height 235mm

    They are roughly the same size, but will they both fit in the battery box, if turned 90° the the orientation of the original?

    Thanks

    I have the C12-100DA with original cranking battery.

    I'm 90% sure it will fit once I raise the original battery 25mm and move it over a bit closer to the door.

    90% because I haven't got around to it yet

    I haven't figured out how to secure them... vaguely thinking of using those "belt" style ratchet strap things...

    I have 2 N70s in mine, mounted east west. I ended up cutting the outer bottom of the battery compartment and welding in a squared off corner to enable them to sit a little further outboard and saved disturbing all the AC wiring. I felt raising the batteries would put the terminals way too close to the hatch also.

    I've got a N70 and one of these:
    Super Start Batteries > Products > Product List

    Mounted east-west on a raised spacer. Too high to fit the battery box lid and don't think I could get them in if I had A/C relays etc in the battery box.
