My truck is soon going to be sitting out in the (cold) weather for perhaps as much as 1 1/2 months at a time without a battery maintainer. I needed to find something reliable, deep cycle capable, and it should be able to hold a charge through hell and back. Alaskan winters tend to get very cold and I love camping out.

I've been eyeing the Odyssey PC 1700T (SAE terminals, no metal jacket)

The only other thread I found concerning it's size was this here and there's no conclusive statement as to whether or not it'll fit. It's kinda huge, weighs 60LBS and is as follows:

Length 13.0
Width 6.5"
Height 7.5 w/terminals

I took a tape measure and I think with some persuasion, it should drop in, but I'm new to the truck business and I don't know for sure and am worried about the length. Do you folks think it'll wedge in ok?

 

Well this is turning out to be a popular thread I realize it's kind of vague...anyone? Some of ya'll must have stuffed something oversized in the battery tray before...how big was it, common

 

there supposed to be great batteries, but i have no clue if it will fit, im sure that if its a little off you would be able to make it fit very easily

 

Get one of those solar maintainers, works wonders. I had one in an old F100 sitting in the yard and it did the trick!
