    I noticed the warranty. Any idea why so short? I've had a good run with Century batteries in the past.

    EDIT: Gees I'm dopey. I just noticed the caps on top - it's a flooded battery. I was so focused on the dimensions I missed that detail.

    The 200 tall (123 Ah) looks the go. I have to check that the cables will reach as the terminals are opposite hand.

    EDIT the stock battery is 187 mm tall. Add the rubber cover and it is flush with the seat base at 190 mm. B_gger!!!

    Is there a tray under the battery? I have a bench set and there was one, so I removed it, shortened the legs a bit to gain more space above.

    I'll pull the battery out tomorrow morning. I've got it on charge at the moment.

    You can fix wet cell batteries, so no need buy new

    With the price of AGM deep cycling batteries these days, there's no point in trying to fix a stuffed wet cell, unless you want it for around home.
