Re: battery with isolation switch.
How would a manufacturer know where you have put your second battery and thus the length of the cable?
Why not use a split charge system? No forgetting to switch it on then.

thought enough t3's around that someone might have knocked a load up, for the length that would allow one under either seat, being the natural place to have both batteries.

Re: battery with isolation switch.
I don't have any batteries under either seat. One in the engine bay and one under the rear seat. The natural places to have the batteries!

Put it next to the one under the rear seat.

Re: battery with isolation switch.
ok ok!
i was assuming all t3's have had their batteries under their seats, when really, ive bought 3 t3s and they all happened to have batteries under their seats.
therefore i thought we were all sitting on one, as it were....

You can sit on what you want/like, to my mind they belong in the back with the engine that said I have one there and 2 in other places
