Hey mate get onto your nearest CAT dealer and grab a catalogue for there batteries. They have slightly different sizes (which may suit your requirements) inc the standard sizes, maintennance free, tough rugged batteries and are really well priced. I bought the largest battery they do to run my fridge, it weighs 60kg just by itself, has nearly 1600CCA and will run the fridge for 2 weeks without a charge. This cost me $380

That's actually a good price for a 1600cca.
What is the AH rating of that battery?
What is the brand/model?
Thanx
Dom

Go for a battery above 700cca. Make sure you get the battery shop to put their battery tester and make sure it has the cca it's printed on the label.

I will have to check the ah rating. Its a CAT's own brand of battery.

That must be one big battery Mat. Id be keen to see the AH rating too. Maybe better for one of these instead of two 110ah batts in my camper.

Yep, deep cycle is more suited as a 2nd battery and not so for cranking.
As the plates are thicker and dont give off amps as readily for cranking and more likely to recover better if drained to low.
"I do understand this is 1 time that larger maybe better !! ".
But I was wondering if anybody was running something like nissan fitted standard 50-60 ah,and how they rated
I was thinking more like 80-100 AGM battery and hopefully better under bonnet clearance.
AGM are more expensive but I've had a good run with em in the past.
I cant see me fitting a winch as something I will be doing.
Hid spotties, decent cd/radio and may be vhf/uhf but that's about it for the near foreseeable future.
just after some feed back to know if lower CCA , AH is going to cut it ?.
Or was Mr Nissan only dreaming when he suggested 50-60 amp hr.
Cheers

up date-- fitted n70 for starter and have fitted a winch, so size does matter! lol

I wonder if anyone makes a lithium battery for the 4WD market yet. The motorbike ones are awesome!

Yes, they do, yes they are and Yes they are 'spensive... rofl

Expect to pay well over $1,000 for 96 AH jobbies (good brands) but of course LiFePo technology means that a battery 1/2 the capacity will do the job so $600 to $700 will prob get a 48 AH jobbie... mid 4's for a 36.

You don't need as high a cold cranking rating because they don't suffer the same voltage sag as lead Acids.

What is even more awesome is if you accidentally short one...
HOLY SHIT!!!
They will easily do a field welding job with just a battery, a handpiece and a rod
