    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 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!
