Quite popular in boats as like Optimax batteries they can be used as for emergency engine starting but they are to high to fit under the seat.

Thnaks for that, although am confused now. In the Wiki it seems to show the 100 as being a fit.

Do you know for definite that it doesn't

The tallest that will fit with the lid in place is 175 mm. With the lid removed you can go taller as long as it clears the rear lip but 185 mm is to close to the seat base which can flex downwards for comfort.
