Help!
Does anyone have a Swift Challenger 544 Sport 2013??
I am trying to find a battery to fit the locker and struggling to find one that will fit.
If anyone has this caravan, please could you let me know the make and model or reference number of your battery in the hope I can locate one?
Many thanks in advance.
A very frustrated caravanner!

Have you measured the width, length and depth of the battery compartment?
Once you have this to hand, just phone a few battery suppliers as they should be able to assist in the size battery you need. Nothing frustrating about that I wouldn't have thought.
Try this company below.

Thanks tango55, I certainly have measured the dimensions of the locker & have been on numerous websites searching for a battery which will fit. Unfortunately without any luck. Was hoping someone on here may be able to help!

Perhaps post the dimensions of the box or maximum dimensions of the battery you think will fit.

Have you got the old battery or is none fitted.

So what size would fit? The battery in our Bailey is 302mm x 172mm x 220mm high, would that fit?

This out of the 2013 Handbook, page 86
The maximum battery size that can be fitted
is 225mm high (including terminals) x 175mm
deep x 353mm wide. The depth and width
dimensions include the rim around the bottom
used for securing the battery. Same size as my 2015 sport.

Thanks madasaman. Although I've measured the locker 3 times (I know I'm a girl and measuring is a bit technical!) I'm going to measure it again tomorrow. But I'm sure it's only 190mm total height.

I've had a look on the web at a lot of low height batteries and all seem to be 190mm high. Best way to measure is cut some stiff card to 190 high and try it in the box

The Max dimensions are 225mm high (including terminals) x
175mm deep x 353mm wide.


I got a very good deal from this site: https://www.tayna.co.uk/Leisure-Batteries-C45.html

Camping Gear expands so as to fill the space available for its transportation.

Over a week later and still no reply from the OP.
I agree that it does help to know the outcome when people have taken the time to offer their help.
