I didn't go for the $1400 option. Even the mechanic suggested not to because of the small battery he could fit in (8"). Instead he suggested a Engel battery pack with 55AH. Now, with some help of another mechanic, I can fit a 12" battery using the Piranha tray for the 2.8l diesel.
Interesting with the sealed battery. I thought the gel ones would be ideal for 4WDing.
the heat under the bonnet can dry out the gel prematurely killing the battery and also agm’s aren’t recommended either though you will get conflicting information on if they can be used under the bonnet depending on the supplier/ manufacturer probibibly best bets a led acid or calcium maintenance free battery looked after will give a good service life and won’t cost the earth
Thanks to both of you.
I would have gone for something like an Optima since it's advertised on Ctek's website together with the dual battery systems.
More complicated than I thought...
