Inherited battery has given up

Has lasted 3 years or so, but has created a dilemma as my choices relative to height in the battery box divided by terminal design appear to be a problem.
I rarely go of grid, but do have power touch AWD quad motor movers, the current battery is now not holding , and providing the charge required to get me off my drive.

My existing battery box allows 190mm to the terminals, and the terminal layout only produces one battery on the main sites, I have tested the current battery using the movers and there is a significant drop in voltage after the van is only moved 2 feet and cuts out.

Current battery is Probat SFL 130R C100 HD it has performed fine during my ownership but the battery itself does not receive good reviews, I am anxious to replace it with something more in keeping with my personal usage.

The big problem appears to be battery height (190mm) also known as low profile, and terminal layout, + .........- rather than the readily available - ..........+ I would like to try a Numax but cant seem to find a fitting.

Most battery boxes have cable length suitable for either terminal layout - either +....- or -....+

I already tried my battery around the other way to see if I could utilise the other option, sadly the I could not secure the cover which is situated in the bedroom.

Turning your battery around places the terminals on the wrong side and thus affect the fitting.
You just need to check the length of the cables.
