Thread: does anyone know battery size

I'll have a look and see if I can find dimensions, but I just went through this and ended up moving my PAS reservoir. I had an 80AH capacity battery without moving it and I couldn't find any 100AH ones that would fit without moving the PAS reservoir.

/searches for dimensions

OK, it's coming back to me now...

Width and height were not a problem for most 100AH batteries. It is the length that seemed to be the problem.

My 80AH was pretty close to the max length which was ~270mm without moving the PAS.

Then I discovered that there appeared to be a "standard length" of about 12". Almost all the 100AH batteries were between 306-308mm length, which is close enough to 12". You need to move the PAS for this.

I would be very surprised if you can find a battery that's greater than 80AH and make it fit without moving the PAS. For small variations in the 80AH range, just do a rough tape measure job and you should be fine.

Something to consider: Are you installing a isolator/separator as well? You need to fit that somewhere. Mine is also in the 2nd battery space.

I have a Delkor DC24 which is a deep cycle 70 AH, "N50ZZ size" - L275mm x W172mm x H229mm.
My isolator is bolted on plate above coil, yes it's a petrol

i've got an Exide N70EX which is a tight fit but just goes in without moving the PS reservoir.

I moved the PS reservoir abou eight years ago to the rear fire wall by extending the pipes with brass joiners and the appropiate type hose, cost about $20 all up. I have never had a problem other than nipping up the pipe clamps which is a normal check for the reservoir it self. For the additional battry size it is well worth it and can be changed back if you want to later
