What are the exterior dimensions of the original battery?
I'm looking at gel cells and would like to match what is supposed to fit correctly.
I need a smaller battery for the FF car to allow space for the intake pipe to go into the fender well, and it would be a shame to find something that could be used in the old car too.
It looks like a choice between a huge truck battery and a motorcycle battery, without much between the two extremes.

Hey JT,
I have an Exide E370C in my Bellett at the moment - I hope that helps.
Cheers

Re: Battery Dimensions Question
It looks like that one was replaced by the X60C, which is 226 mm long, 132 mm wide, and 223 mm tall. (8.9"x5.2"x8.8").redback wrote:I have an Exide E370C
I measured the battery tray: 9 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches.
I'll have trouble rationalizing the motorcycle battery I was eying. Might have to wait for next season. Nothing from Odyssey comes close in size without being small. Only the smallest Optima looks like a good fit, but still to big to clear the intake pipe in the other car.
