Battery Tray for Numax

Out today laning with mud-warriors up in the peaks, and half way round my battery dies! Just got home, but eventually it wouldnt even run with the existing battery. anyhow, i need a new one.

I was planning to do a dual battery install anyhow, and the only thing im not sure of what ppl are using for battery trays in dual numax installs?

* The battery is the Numax 1000CCA battery everyone goes on about. Ill be buying 2 hopefully.
* The vehicle is a 90 200tdi and has a YRM battery box (I think is nonstandard dimensions, but ill measure up). Given my battery box is replaced, i currently dont have a battery tray at all.

Ive seen trays from devon 4x4 and flatdog but they are for optima type batteries which im pretty sure are smaller than the numax one.

So if you have dual numax 1000CCA batteries what tray are you using?

If you do buy 2 where are you going to put the second one
As you won't get two in the batt box I know as I have one in mine

Yeah those are the ones ive seen linked, and same website/price too.

This post has wiltshire landyman running 2 of those, but i guess they must be slightly different model.

yeah theres a few. that 31MF is significantly longer than the CXV1000. ive got to measure it all up anyhow because my battery box is non standard from YRM metal solutions.

still need to know what battery tray i need???

I'm running two of those in my standard battery box in my 300tdi. I have no specific battery tray and the batteries are slightly tilted due to the funny shape of the bottom of the box. Id say there's no chance you'd get any higher batteries in there than that, mine is right up to the top of the space, such that the batteries are clamped down and the terminals have insulated covers on so there's no chance of shorting on the lid. Any higer a battery and youd only get one in there, sitting transverse in the deepest part of the box.

The batteries are a good size in other dimensions though. I had no trouble fitting in the split charge relay and a quite large (250 amp) isolator switch under the passengers legs for a winch.

purchased 2 of them. measured up and its going to be tight!

you could cut the bottom of the battery box out and drop it down a few more inches? I did this on my series so it could take a bigger batery
