I've purchased a new battery and on inspection it appears to be a lot longer than my current battery. Upon checking other websites it appears that all of them are saying that a battery is this size:
Length: 354mm
Width: 175mm
Height: 190mm
My current Battery is like 310mm in length and I can't see how the 354 length could even fit in the bay. Any ideas?

Be warned

I ordered the battery and then compared to the old size and it appears that a lot of online stockists suggest the 35cm length battery fir the B6 S4. This I wrong ad won't fit. The 31cm battery is what you need. I've now got an F17 Varta and it's perfect.

Very annoyingly i have just found this out too
There seems to be a rubber stopper on one side of the battery tray. I dont know if this can be moved to allow a bigger battery as without it i think the longer one may just squeeze in
I am going to give it a try tomorrow anyway as i have been waiting ages for the battery

Sweet baby jesus what a ball ache that was
The big battery is in but i really wouldnt recommend it
I only went through with making it fit because i got it mates rate for £47 and a 5 year warranty
So for anyone searching S4 battery type or size DO NOT go with the recommended size on most websites
