Hi, I'm after the impossible please - a high amp hour deep cycle battery which will fit in a 23.5 cm tray. The best I can find so far is a Fullriver AGM HGL60 (60ah) can anyone suggest anything with a higher amp hour rating?
Don't suggest a bigger battery tray, even I can work that one out 8-)
The tray is small to fit in the available space in an NM Pajero WITHOUT having to move the black pot and ABS brakes.
Yes, I have duplicated this question in the Pajero
Forum.
If anyone abuses me for asking the impossible I'll then ask which fridge I should buy - that should keep you all busy for a while!
(Didn't mean it, I already have a fridge. The brand is .............not telling, but it doesn't need much power)
Thansk
or failing that, and with slower fingers, ....Thanks

hello greydemon,
We use and sell a brand of AGM battery called "POWERSONIC" and we have never had any problems with then, they use them in alot of OEM applications like wheel chairs battery back up systems.
The PG12V75 is small in size for the output, they use a N50 casing.
Here is a link www.powersonic.com.au/
Go into the product list on the left hand side of the screen and when the next page opens, go to the top of the page and hit the "Enter here" hilite.
I think you will be suprised with what they do.
Regards Richard

Mate,
You have just discovered what I did some time ago.
An AGM battery has a relatively large footprint in comparison to a wet cell deep cycle.
So, you are limited to a 60 A/h capacity battery or thereabouts, or settle for a wet cell battery which is another compromise, as you are no doubt aware.
This was one of the reasons I chose a portable battery system.
The auxiliary AGM battery in my vehicle gives me about 55 A/h . I just cannot fit anything much larger in the second cradle and dont want to revert to a wet cell battery. Overall, this gives me a reasonable capacity while travelling.
The "Thumper" gives another 75+ A/h capacity and is also an AGM style.
This is my main power source for the fridge when not travelling and can be charged from the in-car charger, or a solar panel. It sits in the rear cargo space, next to the fridge.
