Max' Dimentions of leisure batt's

Post by sparkymik » Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:32 pm

Hi All looking round for a new leisure batt and I was hoping to fit a 110Ah, I have a winter fit Bongo with the factory fitted second battery tray I found one on e-bay dimentions L345 W175 H190 low hight variant I would like to buy it but it's borderline tight fit anyone had any expirence in this area it is large one I know but it does fit under the offside inner wheel arch and just touches the expansion pipe to the tank .Could be I'll have to get a smaller battery In anticipation of your help I thank you =D>

I have a Bosch 110 LB but i did fit a willinton battery tray, i think you may have to alter the tray you have (i think there is a lip on the tray)
Lost without my Bongo.

Your right Dave there is an all round raised edge, I'm supposing that the Willington tray fits lower into the engine bay maybe there for no a problem to install a larger battery I can modify the edge with a grinder, so longwise it will be level and width is ok, it's the hight I don't want to slam the lid on it cheers for the input

My you do have a big one :oops: :lol: Thats brill just the info I need, how deep is the base of the tray? it must be lower than standard, ie the factory fitted, my battery is H210 and just makes contact with the lid when down there is 30mm not accounted for in there, so you must have a lower tray, I might have to go that route to fit a larger battery, thanks again for the input
