Not sure about the dimensions, but optima are good (but expensive)

Got a Duracell from Sam's Club. Group 34, 800 CCA, positive terminal on the left like the original. It was $108. They had the same battery that was AGM. $70 more. I'm sure like everything else it's gone up. But it fit perfectly.

Be careful running agm, most have a low maximum charging voltage and most vehicle alternators produce high enough voltage to damage most agm batteries on the market. I haven't dug up the ratings on the roxor alternator yet, but I would bet its not compatible with agm batteries.

Roxors with factory winches came from the factory with AGM batteries. See this thread: Battery upgrade for use with winch

I haven't looked at the operation of the charging system on the roxor, but it is possible the ones that come with an agm battery have a voltage limited charging system. If I was considering an agm, I would verify the ratings were compatible for peace of mind. I'm also a cheap ass and would be disappointed if I cooked a $200+ battery from not taking the time to research what I was working on.

Our chances of cooking the gauge cluster by doing nothing are probably higher than cooking an agm battery. Just saying.
How did you get it to fit in the mount? I got the X2Power 24 AGM and the base would fit fine but the batter had flares on the top side which hit the side brackets of the mount.I bought a x2 AGM battery. It has a 5 year warranty with free replacement so not too worried if it gets cooked

Yes - I fun installing it since I ran into the same problem. I had to bend the side brackets a little and was able to strap it down from there. If I would have known that before I bought the X2 Power battery, I would have went with a different option.
