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.....
