The dimensions (outside, I haven't checked the mounting holes) aren't round in either unit. I guess they take solar cells, arrange them, add some margins for wires, and get whatever width they get. He sent me dimensions of batteries. The length is given as 40.00 cm and something-and-three-fourths inches. In the spreadsheet he entered the 3/4 as .8 and put another cell with a conversion to millimeters, which came out a bit bigger. The width and height are unround. I'm thinking of something like this: "I have been metric since I played with 8 mm Lego blocks as a kid, even before the US went metric in the seventies. I measure rice in grams and water in milliliters when I cook. I don't know gpm or psi. This house is a metric project. Please give me the data in metric."
