Can't diesels can take a bigger battery Martin, as they don't have a stupid box to put them in?

[California Dreamin]

Code 100 are the biggest listed but there maybe a bit more space for something even bigger. You could take the van down to your local 'battery shop' and try a few options I suppose but they will undoutedly base their choices on the fitment listing books they have infront of them.
On the other hand Code 100 batteries do fit.

they do indeed

[fatfrosty1966]

thanks for that,i assume the alternator just has to run on load longer to top up the battery,a bit more fuel for a lot more cranking amps seems a fair price to pay

[kevtherev]

Not really, you use the same .. and recharge the same..
bigger batteries have more lasting cranking power that's all.
