Can anyone tell me the dimensions of a leisure battery to fit in the LB tray.

Thanks
Paul

Depend on which battery tray you have, if its a willinton tray you can squeeze a 110 amp LB
If its a Mazda tray you may have to measure the space and even bend the lip of the tray down a bit if you need a bigger LB that will fit .
Lost without my Bongo.

Hi Paul

Spent a long time myself trying to find the info you are after and following a quick check with the tape measure you need something within 300x200x200mm as far as I can tell. Clearly my Bongo is not your Bongo and a larger size may be feasible :lol:

I use a pair of these:

which fit easily in either battery tray but there are plenty of other recommendations. I guess any battery recommended on the forum will fit but I appreciate that most people are more concerned with storage capacity rather than actual dimensions.

Hope that helps :)
Live Bongo and prosper.

Thanks Jaws
Thats a great help as i don`t want to slam my bonnet down and hit the top of the battery.
