One I have got in mine is 278mm 11" wide and fits in drivers side for me. however 8" deep it within the slot on the drivers side. If your looking at passenger side, you got no chance of within the battery tray but you would need a way of securing it safely in there.

That would be the better one to fit in there. But why do you want one so big though? Thats bigger than a transit battery and your only powering a 1.4 engine :confused:

8" deep might be too high though.

the 12" will fit in ok, but brackets might not hold it in place as its not very wide. but you can make a bracket which should hold it easier enough

Seems a lot of hassle when we supply the 063 battery for £30
