Just done mine last weekend (removed the old Yuasa). Had the same issue with Halfords etc saying 054. I bought a 057 from GSF @ £49 and that fits correctly. Cheers

I think the consensus from this thread is that the wiki is wrong.

Some parts of that wiki article might be wrong as I wrote some parts of it and I am not in UK. Therefore I might have gotten some UK standard numbers wrong. Also I did not even know about type 057 and that it fits Jimnys.
But I can certainly tell from my own personal experience that batteries sized 236L x 127W x 227H fit LHD Jimnys 3 just fine (I used two such batteries from two manufacturers in two Jimnys), and that they should correspond with British battery standard code 155. I wrote about it in the chapter "Solutions for higher battery requirements in Jimnys" in that wiki article. In fact I still have one such battery (taken from my Jimny) in my apartment.
I have never thought about it until now - are there any differences between LHD and RHD Jimnys 3 regarding battery fitment and battery cables in the engine bay?
I wrote the part of the wiki article about 054 batteries just by borrowing info from other places and therefore that might be wrong.

Nothing wrong with the 155 and I believe they will fit, as does the 057.
It simply may be that the 057 is a more common reference, or as in my case, the 057 in the shop in front of me offered more AH and CCA than the 155, although this does vary with manufacturers.
I believe the 054 has the terminals the wrong way around for the UK market Jimny, or at least it does for my Jimny (see my picture of 057 fitted)
That's how I see it. I am sure other batteries will fit and I can't say for sure if all Jimny engine compartments look like mine.

I have a 155 and it fits fine. When buying it I looked at the capacity of the common quoted sizes, the 155 was the highest I saw at 45Ahr. It is highly likely that different manufacturers quote a different capacity for the same battery type/reference so get the biggest/best battery you can at a sensible price.
