In the US there is a set of standardized battery dimensions. The BCI group size chart gives you the full list. Individual manufacturers dimensions may vary slightly. For example the Lifeline batteries shown above are a bit off from the standard dimensions. Its best to measure your available space carefully. Note that Victron requires you to leave a 20 mm ventilation gap between batteries.
