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
What a long strange trip it's been

Yeah we bought a 110 amp from Alpha, just measure your space and finds one that fits, no probs with ours so far.
Good luck

I got a 100ah elecsol under my passenger seat they fit.
However, I also got a pair of Trojans and you never need hook up ever again!

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!
