Just had a closer look at what was being offered. The Optima Super Special is Not for the "D" 34/M which is the preferred battery for me as the 34M (No D prefixed) is purely a starting or cranking battery and is Not recommeded or warrented for Deep cycling applications.Originally posted by craigm View Post
However LD2, this may well suit your needs as you have the dual Batt setup?2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

Just rang BatteriesDirect (link above) The D43M is currently $299. This battery is my preference now. As I mentioned, at present I dont have a dual Batt system and this battery has the added benefit of supporting Deep cycle appllications with a quick recharge ability. I am not intending at this time to run accessories days on end without the motor running and this battery I am told is also far more forgiving if "run flat" than a standard cranking battery which is a big positive. The only thing I need to do tonight before I order is check that my leads will reach across the top of the battery to the other side, otherwise I will need to change the lengths by some means...2004 V6 Grande.

Not a hijack....I ordered one from them today myself. I wanted a D27 blue but it is too long so ordered the D34M :-)Originally posted by craigm View Post_______________________________________

Everyone...appreciate the opinions and suggestions. I'll put the battery in as soon as I can and let you know how it goes fit and use._______________________________________

LD2, Did you get the battery for the same price?2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

It looks to me that the D27M is the same size as the OE cranking battery, just wondering why you thought it was to long?Originally posted by LostDingo2 View Post
I need another battery but not for the Prado, might swap a few batteries around and get an Optima for the Prado, Prado battery goes into Hilux, Hilux battery goes into tip trailer! the extra terminals would neaten things up a bit.
Looks to me like the D27 would fit perfectly apart from the terminals being on the wrong side, but they all are, or am I missing something.

AJ120, I think the battery tray on the Diesel is longer than that of the Petrol and the recommended battery for the diesel is larger also. Therefore the D27 is compatable for the Diesel 120's. Battery length of 120 Diesel is around 305mm for the N70ZZ (Century Yuasa) and the Petrol is 258mm for the NS70. Looking at mine (Petrol) the larger battery would probably squeeze in but 40mm or so would be a) overhanging the batt tray & b) be hard up against an AC Pipe. (not really worth it when the D34M is an 800CCA battery anyway)
Edit: Sorry, Just noticed that LD2 has a D4D so you're right, theres no reason not to go the D27....Last edited by craigm; 12-07-2011, 11:00 PM.2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

Hi Aj....before I placed my order I measured and it looked to me that 308mm would be too long on the start battery.Originally posted by AJ120 View Post_______________________________________

Had a look at the cabling on mine also. Looks like I'm up for the same job. (extending both cables) The positive cable will be just to tight across the top of the battery for my liking so I will extend that too.Originally posted by LostDingo2 View Post2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

Guys as most batteries are available with reversed terminal configuration, why not just get the
same battery with reversed terminal configuration and turn the battery around, then you won't
need to extend the cable?

If only it was that easy! The yellow and blue top batteries dont come in a reverse pole configuration. The Red tops do but they dont support deep cycling.Originally posted by LeighW View Post2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

Well then I suppose it depends on what size you want but
the D27M has reversed terminals, it is a blue top and suitable
for start and deep cycle.

the d27 is a big battery though... you'll have trouble fitting it i'd think.
think i might order a blue top at the current batteries direct price. extra terminals could come in handy.2011 150series GXLComment
