The only place that i saw some info is [URL="http://cararac.com/batteries/volkswagen/amarok.html"]Carac[/URL], that has some measurements Height: 190 mm (same as mine) Length: 354 mm (mine is smaller, around 280mm to what i measured) Width: 175 mm (same as mine) Im looking to upgrade the battery over the stock, inside the hood where the battery goes seems it can fit longer batteries, it even has a plastic shim to secure the smaller stock battery, so was thinking on the following, to what i can see have the same placement and similar specs.
