Default 65 size battery in an XJ!

I have always wondered how well a size 65 battery would fit in my Jeep so when my 2 year old Orlileys battery took a dump just out of its warranty period I decided to give it a try. I had a used 65 size battery that still tested good, I had to break the lip off on the engine size of the battery, and with a little bit of persuasion the battery fell right into place. It's a tight fit and is almost touching the compressor but it works.
