RichardAllen Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 As the title says really, I have a 300TDi 90 with a standard battery box. It already has a PC2150 leisure battery in it and the other 'normal' battery is suffering from the weather, so I want to replace it. I got a PC1500 from my factors today, but they provided one with side terminals which is just too wide at 177.5mm. So I am going to take it back tomorrow, but just noticed that a PC1700 at 168.2mm is narrower than a PC1500 without the side terminals at 171.7, Since I am going for a snug fit, has anyone got a PC1700 together with a PC2150 in a standard box ? All help gratefully received. Regards Richard PS I have seen Mike Gemini's thread on rebuilding your box and would like to avoid that option if possible.

western Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 2 x PC1700 in my 110, both sat longways & securely strapped down with threaded rod & a alloy strap [homemade] on each attached to the battery box standard J bolt locations, a wooden block under the battery to help it sit level. sorry don't have a photo, tight fit, I had to put the outer battery in first then slide the inner battery in.

RichardAllen Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 It seems there are 4 or 5 types of PC1500, and the catalogue my local battery place (JE Clarke in Stroud, very helpful) has is completely different from the Odyssey website. Two wrong PC1500's later I gave up on trying to get the right one, forked out another £30 for the bigger PC1700 which fits snugly but fine alongside a PC2150 in the unmodified battery box, around my VSR charging relay, isolation switch, winch switch, a small fuse box and a lot of wires, leaving a little space to spare for some tools. I have fitted them in 'fore and aft' unlike Landy Andy's setup. Thanks again for the help. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
