I understand there is now an odyssey 1500 that will fit in the aux battery box. It's at least 65Ah or may even be 80, I'm not sure.

Cheers.

I know an Optima D34 fits, as I found a post on a UK website on this very theme, but they are extortionate here unless I can find a better quote than the $350ish locally!

Found a couple of the Supercharge ones that look as though they may fit, and waiting on prices.

44Ah is pushing it, I think...certainly won't run a Waeco overnight, as that even hits my 80Ah Remco quite hard...but 65Ah may do it OK.

How much was your 1200, if you don't mind me asking - I have a feeling Odyssey are quite an expensive battery, aren't they?

Don't remember how much the odyssey was. It'll run my Evacool for about 36 hours. Not much, but I switch it off at night.

Very good battery, though. Can be mounted upside down (although i'm not sure why anyone would want to).

I got it about 18 months ago, when it was all that would fit. I was going to replace it as 44Ah is a bit low, but I'll wait a bit now.

I'm going to see if one of the dual purpose Supercharge ones fits, but I'll price up an Odyssey too now.

I've put a Varta 55ah into my D3 plus the sc80

Got a pic? Also, can you remember how much and where you got it from?

I've got the SC80 too. Great piece of kit (thank's Tim;)). Solved all the trouble I was having with the TJM unit I had before.

I've used a SC40 in the D3, but have the SC80 in the Defender.

Cheers - I'm off for a couple of weeks from tomorrow, but finishing the D3 is one of the first jobs for the weekend I'm back!

Have you run any cables to the back for a fridge or similar? Or the dask/glove box for UHF, etc.

If so, I must remember to have a look at the cable run next time I make a trip and you're there!

Yep got it all, when you get back let me know and we can get together.
