closer to the engine.) That then allowed 2-3cm of clearance between the positive terminal and the stock battery clamp. I then sat it directly on the metal battery support bracket and slid it over to the edge of the support (ie. I had some self adhesive 3mm thick rubber so cut some pieces and stuck them to the bottom of the Optima. So the plastic tray has been removed (with an AGM it's not really required as it will never leak acid.) However, what I didn't notice last night was the 34R is too long to fit in it. It can be modified by cutting a bit off locating lug on the bottom of it. First step was to remove the battery tray (plastic tray battery sits in.) It's keyed to fit into a slot in the vehicle's metal battery support bracket- to locate the battery further towards the inner guard. I got the 34R to fit, after searching for an alternative and not coming up with many options. I want the larger capacity because of the twin electric thermo-fans I'm running - I think they draw 25 Amps on high speed? I know they've got some out locally (mainly for motorbikes) with internal BMS, they sound good. ) The prices (in Australia) are prohibitive and long term use in a vehicle's engine bay is an unknown.

(The PC I'm using now has been converted and is running off solar power. I've been looking at LiFePO4 technology for a while now due to my interest in solar power. I'm aware of the various Lithium Batteries. Even though it will be posted on the internet, I don't want to say for sure, until I have been there and done that. You may notice that I am still qualifying my statements. The D34 size fits easily according to the tape measure, but is 750 cca versus 900 cca and 55 amp hour reserve versus the 75 ah of the D31. Without going to something exotic like a LiFePO4 ( which brings the weight down, but cost and charging complexity up) I am still bound by the fact that like the Texan's all say, "bigger is better". I am looking at the yellow tops from Optima but could be swayed another direction if someone has a solid, first hand recommendation. Right now, the headlights or rolling a window up or down, slows the fan speed, so the current battery/alternator isn't quite meeting the demand. I am trying to save weight/space by going with a single dual purpose battery rather than a dual setup. Since I have not yet decided on lights, winch, and possible cooler/refrigerator I don't know what my requirements will be. Thanks for the welcome, as you can see I have been lurking for a while, soaking up as much information as I can.
