Subject:Battery size to fit under bench seat?

I recently installed a Norcold DC0040 refrigerator while draws more
current than I expected (see my post, "Norcold Results") and I want to
increase the size of the aux battery. I presently have an Optima
installed under the driver's seat. It was a mighty job modifying the
battery to fit with the lid closed, and it might have been damaged over
the winter by a cheap Harbor Freight trickle charger, I'll test it later.

But I think I want more capacity. I've already removed the heater from
under the rear bench seat and have plenty of room there. What's a good
Group size that fits well?
