Standard dimensions? Well that sort of depends and includes 6V choices
12V 8D would be just one of the examples for similar capacity and is also a standard RV and boat size for comparisons to 2 GC batteries. But certainly I know the space limitation thing all too well with my current rig because I can't fit 2 GC batteries or any 200+Ahr lead acid based true deep cycle capacity combination! I've resolved myself to the fact that I'll need more modern chemistry cells to fit the space when replacement time comes. My previous RV wouldn't fit an 8D but 2 GC batteries fit ok.
