    CAT battery special

    CAT batteries often get recommended on here. I just got an email from William Adams CAT dealer ...

    "William Adams is offering 15% off the range of Cat batteries, with FREE SHIPPING. Simply use the promo code 'BATTERY15' when shopping through parts.cat.com/en/williamadams to apply your discount. " Till end July 2022

    I use the 175-4370 in my Td5 defender and have had a good run.

    Does the 175-4370 fit OK in the standard battery position - under the passenger seat?
    It seems rather high at 217.8mm to base of terminals. Original battery in my Td5 is only 152mm to base of terminals.

    As a goby, I can just fit an Odyssey 31-PC2150S athwart, pushed to the front of the battery box. It was originally fore/aft in the gully of the battery box (negative terminal at the rear/low end) of my son's Deefer TD5. Dimensions are
    Length 330 mm
    Width 173 mm
    Height (terminals included) 241 mm
    Height (container) 216 mm
    I think you could accommodate the extra 1.8 mm height. As an extra precaution, we have changed the battery box lid to 5mm thick LDPE plastic which doesn't rust ......or spark

    I have to admit it is a bit of a job to get the big red 35kg battery in place athwart, followed by a trip to the physio.....

    Hope you have better luck with those Odysseys... I've killed about 10 of them. The one in the D4 lasted under 12 months and was refunded...
