Age old dual battery fitment question re: Century batteries

[technophile]

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 (http://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/4407/century-hi-performance.html)
Length 305mm x Width 172mm x Height 225mm

and

C12-100DA
Century C12-100DA Deep Cycle - AGM (http://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/22743/c12-100da.html)
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 a century deep cycle/start batt in the disco and its a cracker. In the defender I have two n70 sized bats running lenth ways down the battery box so should fit

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 :D

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

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 (http://www.superstart.com.au/Products/ProductList/tabid/108/mode/details/pid/148/Default.aspx)

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.
