Deep Cycle Battery
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 2:33 pm
Hello All,
Im having a serious hard time finding a deep cycle battery that will fit in the engine compartment where mine is mounted. I've got a 92 b190 and the engine battery as well as the deep cycle for the coach are in the engine compartment. The Deep cycle that is in there now is a ford motorcraft deep cycle with demensions of 5 x 12.5 x 8. the 5" width is the problem here. The smallest i've seen is 6.5 (which seems to be standard) however the battery tray is so tigthly located between hoses and the headlight wiring assembly i've got no room to go for a bigger battery. I called ford and they said they've never heard of that battery, although the person i spoke with didnt seem eager to help. I really dont want to re-wire the battery to the back of the van so i was wondering if anyone else has this model/battery setup and if they'd know where to buy a replacement. Thanks
