Anyone switch out 2013 v8v battery?

[klee168168]

Owners have issues finding a battery that fits. Apparently 2006-2012 v8 Vantage have a size 49 (H8) battery. 2013+ batteries are slightly shorter in height. The metal strap that holds it down is half an inch shorter because of this shorter battery. The 2013-2018 V8 Vantage need size 93 battery which is really hard to find. If you try to install a size 49 (H8) battery in 2013-2018 models, the metal strap is too short.

Here is a thread.

Anyone find a solution?

Apparently even Aston Martin doesn’t know. I called the dealer and asked if there is one or two batteries for the v8 Vantage. They told me the system only shows one battery that is a H8 (class 49). I asked them to measure the height and they told me 7.5”. My metal strap is 7” so it’s going to be too short.

So no one else has run into problems changing out their battery?
