Hi all, my original (amazingly) 2003 battery has finally died, it may had died a while back as we are always on mains but after being stood at home i noticed no lights work !

I plan to remove the restrictive size OEM fitted wooden battery box to buy a bigger battery and place in a new plastic battery box.

Any suggestions on brand/type seller please ?

if you do a bit of off hookup camping then the bigger the better i put 2 x 155ah traction batteries on mine and can last around 2 weeks static without hook up in winter with careful lighting and tv use. and should hopefully do better when i get the second solar panel on in the spring.

if you mainly use hookup sites etc then anything that will last you a long weekend will be fine.

really minimum requirements want to be a single 110ah battery.

Cheers thats great, we mainly do 240 but would like the 12v also to be fully useable.
I have found a new 110ah for £74.00 inc delivery which seems ok.

Since 2012 but longer in my dreams
Don't know where your battery box is fitted,but on my 2004 if you open the rear locker there is a piece of ply when lifted reveals a fibreglass tray.I bought 2 110 amp batts and they fit in with ease, if you could get one it would be an easy DIY fit.

Finally got a 110ah jobby, took out the small factory fitted wooden box and bought a plastic holder which seems more secure and fitted to the left of the area.
Pictured as i believe battery locations vary on the Apache.
