You say an optima will fit, but thats 254 MM long, yet the info I found on N50 spec is only 230 MM long, but I maybe wrong ?

This is why I asked for a direct measurement of the tray width.

D34 is 254mm and same as Exide Orbital .....



Exide Orbital (Maxxima)
258mm wide
203mm high
170mm wide






D34 Yellow Top
254mm wide
198.4mm high
174.6mm wide

Tha ARB battery tray is $67.20 Aus for the unit available from all ARB stores here in Australia. It is suposed to fit an exide ED4R battery. With a few mods to the clamping end plate I am sure You can fit a larger battery(length),
height will be a limiting factor as the dimensions of the ED4R battery are
237mm long x 174mm wide x 209mm high and is only a 55 amp battery.
Hope this helps.
Now how have you got the battery in the last pic secured as this tray is designed for a battery that has a ledge near the bottom to secure it?
I am not in favor of the ED4R and am looking for a alternative.
So what has everyone else used please?
Cheers

Drill a hole each end and fit strap and tighten.

or go the Exide, same size, half the price

BTW...

Never fit a Lead Acid Battery to a Disco or Defender TD5...

You'll boil the buggers!

Always go Calcium or AGM

We have a local ARB distributor, I would be happy to organise it all for you.
I could order it & then pack it & post it, as I doubt if an ARB store would.
If you would like me to, just send me an email & we can arrange the details.

Hi

Shaker, thats VERY kind of you and much appreciated.

I'll send you a PM.
