Leisure Battery

Post by t25darren »

Anyone know what leisure battery will fit under my westy seat? I have a normal car battery at the moment but is only 38 amp hour.
Many thanks

Hi Darren
Have a search, there's loads of info in the wiki about batteries etc, but to be fair most folk - me included - just use an second starter battery

These have been suggested, but I've not tried one myself
:ok
What a long strange trip it's been

I think you should read this thread on brickyard
Then get yourself one from Alpha Batteries.
No need to put one in the boot.

Good luck

I don't know the part number, though this is the one I brought from Tanya.

Mine fits under the seat in the well. Though I don't have a ply board lid, unlike where my starter battery is. I just have a piece of carpet going over the top of the battery, which gives me a bit more clearance!
