Not much joy with the search or the wiki then?

A code 096 will fit as will a code 075 and 067.
these are starter batteries, good for weekends and cheap too
not much choice with leisures that fit under.

max depth is 175mm
try Varta for batteries

190mm height won't fit under the battery cover. 175mm is maximum height.

I dont think so pal
My batteries (code 096) are 278 x 175 x 190

they both have covers and the passenger is a swivel neither has any problem.

from the wiki..

Under seat Dimensions, 310 wide x 175 deep (front to back) x 190 high. these are absolute maximum a shade less would be better. I have measured to the bottom of a swivel seat on a camper.

I have a 100ah elecsol which although fits in the space under the seat, will foul seat unles a swivel base is fitted,even then the battery flap will not close due to the height.

Just in case you didn't already know.....the original auxilary battery (I call it that) wasmore than likely a standard starter type and not a dedicated leisure (Westfalia used a normal cranking battery under the N/S seat...same as the O/S, from the factory)

Well I think that settles it I need a starter battery and will go get one tomorrow, thatnks for all the replies, appreciate it.

Post by **kevtherev** » 31 Mar 2009, 20:07

Ah ha!
the 096 battery is 175mm deep

I have corrected my inaccurate post of 190mm
I got deep and height mixed up

the wiki should read 310 long 190 wide 175 high
