Cheers


According to Supercharge the height of that battery is 202mm

Elsewhere I've read that the original was 160mmH x 125mmD x 235mmW and 32Ah and was an AGM type battery.

Something like the FS-12V 35A/H sounds pretty close 159Hx195x130. I wonder if anyone has tried it?

It's less than half the price someone is advertising for the Mazda branded battery.

You could always cut the top off it so it won"t stick up above the floor. Duh!
