I went to the junkyard looking for a new battery for my truck. It’s supposed to take a group 59 battery. They didn’t have any so today i took out my battery to see what alternatives could fit. I measured the battery tray to see its dimensions. I thought it was weird when the battery tray only measured 9 inches wide. I looked at various battery size charts and they all list the length as 10 1/16 for the group 59 battery. I measured the group 59 battery that’s in there now and yep it’s 9 inches wide. Now i wonder what other measurements on the chart are wrong. Makes it hard to pick out an alternative more common battery just by the chart. Guess I’m going back to the yard with a tape measure.
