Securing leisure batteries

Post by B.J »

Hi,
What are the options for securing leisure batteries? My new batteries are too big to go under the seats so I'm going to install them near the kitchen panel. What's the best way to secure them to the floor? I've seen battery trays with the top clamp but my space is height restricted so w3as hoping to find some bottom clamps :shock: like the ones in the back of t25's (can't find them anywhere)
Any help gratefully received

Danke :ok

that sounds a bit ugly.. why not fit it under the bed?
not much under there so you can put a fixing bolt through the floor with a spreader plate

I put mine in the box you can build from the plans on the wiki.
here's the finished box, plenty of room for a battery or two

They'll not be visible. I've got a cupboard that goes up to the engine bay where my top loading fridge will live. It has some dead space underneath so i'll put them there.
I've found some straps which I think I'll give a try.

Cheers
