Anyone know?
It doesn't look like a PC2150 is going to fit.

Jack, I have the Diehard version of the 2150 in my D1. Had to do a little bending of the a/c lines, but it fit. It's pretty tight though.

Seems there was a thread on Dweb talking about this. Im pretty sure it was Chapman that had a picture if his setup, and I based my decision off that. I had the same concerns you did.

Damn, really?
That's great.
I'd like to run the same battery.

My old set-up had Optima yellow tops in each corner which was great for weight distribution, but I would now prefer an Odyssey and one big battery rather than two.

I will try and get you a pic today. It is very tight though.

I do have the Tdi in my D1, but the battery tray and that corner didn't change. Still uses the same a/c lines as the v8.

Out of curiosity, why the change in preference?

Wasn't me. I have the Die Hard PM-2, which is equivalent to the Odyssey PC-1500 not the PC-2150. The PM-2 is a Group 34 battery and the PM-1 is a Group 31 which is much larger.

With that said, I think it's possible to fit a Odyssey PC-2150 or Die Hard PM-1 in the 1998+ Discovery. But this would require getting creative with the A/C lines and the radiator support on the passenger side.

One other option is to get the ECU remote location kit, install a Defender washer bottle in place of the battery, and install your new battery where the washer bottle was with a custom bracket/box. Sounds ghetto to me, but it could work if you wanted that battery like a fat kid wants a candy bar.

I have found the PM-2 to be sufficient, though. If not, there is always the jump-box.

Well I've always run two batteries in parallel as I don't go in for isolators and one big battery tends to behave even better. It's hard to get two batteries to live in true harmony and the PC2150 is such a beast it's better than even two lesser batteries put together.
I've been really happy with it in the 110.

And like you know, I'm a believer in jump boxes.

I learned from you to always have one around.

I stand corrected. It was your picture I was thinking if, just the wrong battery. This was the pic you sent me.


The PM1 fits fine albeit a little tight. I dont know if the radiator supports are different with the three hundy vs the v8. Perhaps that is why mine fit easier.

Shit, Jack. I'm sorry. I was busy getting ready for a trip to DC and I forgot about the battery compartment picture.

I get back on Saturday, and I will remember

Are you sure about that?

Here are two photos. Please excuse the horrible Blackberry pics and the filthy engine bay.

Yeah.
Did you have me confused with Rick?

Oh yeah, I forgot you have that self-healing alternator. You should be fine with a single battery.

I roll with a spare alternator in the disco and the 300Tdi will run for a week on battery, sucka.

You're a tough sell. Catastrophic Odyssey failure? Jeeper steals your battery while you sleep? Both alternators fail? OK you can always borrow one of mine.

Or call me on the Sat phone.

Again, I think you have me confused with Rick.

Jack, you decide on battery setup yet?

I'm going to go with the PM-1 and make it fit.

Sounds like some butchery is in store.

Jack, what came of the PM-1 installation in the D1?

I chickened out and got the PM-2.

Of course, it's not even in the truck. It's just sitting on a shelf with all the other parts for the disco.
