Any idea on max height, the battery I wanted wont fit due to lpg ecu install so the company are recommending both of these, the cheapest and highest is 220m

i presume the ECU is bolted to the plastic battery surround.

you could remove the battery sround and make a bracket to mount the ECU on then you can fit the battery you want to.

No, the ECU is bolted to the side of the car next to the battery, there is a couple of mil clearance, i can get a bigger one in, just not the size I ordered.
Any ideas on the height, I have the other dimensions nailed but cant find out how high Im allowed to go. This enduroline http://www.tayna.co.uk/069-Enduroline-Car-Battery-640CCA-P8384.html is 220mm, my existing battery is 195.
any idea, I could do with oredering tomorrow, i think both batteries are OK power wise, just dimensions.

thanks
Paul

I have that Optima myself and it fits, only issue is that because it's lower the two threaded 'bolts'/bracket to hold the battery in place needs to shortened or use some spacers. I cut them down and bent new holding bends.
