Re: Leisure battery
I dont think there is a lead acid leisure battery that is low enough to fit there.
Maybe more modern technology ones will fit under the chair.

Re: Leisure battery
Just asked a similar question, hope one of us gets an answer? I've found a lot of batteries that fitbut only one of them claims to be the real thing - a deep cycle semi traction leisure battery that is n/a for starting and will achieve 500 charge cycles. This is it:
ABS LP75 Leisure Battery | ABS Batteries (advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk)
But I don't know if it's to be trusted seeing as how Alpha batteries (another seller) say about a same size battery they sell 'Please note: This is not a deep cycle battery for regular wild camping. If you are looking for a deep cycle battery for wild camping and off hookup use then you will need to relocate your leisure battery to accommodate a specialist battery designed for regular use as there are no deep cycle batteries available for under seat fitment unless you can accommodate 190mm height.'
So I don't know who to believe?

It's a snug fit you aren't gonna get anything much bigger in there.
Any questions just ask.
cheers

Re: Leisure battery
Looking for leisure battery (130ah) for my 1982 T25. I have moved the position of the battery in the van so don't have any restrictions on which size I can have. Does anyone recommend a particular make of battery - and where to buy it.

Re: Leisure battery
I got a NUMAX 105Ah (yes not a 130 I know...) from Fishing Republic - which is actually a brand of go Outdoors - for £69 less another 15% off with a code. smaller than you wanted but for the price it may be worth a look. I used it in anger last weekend for 3 nights camping and with a bit of solar top up it kept my CR50 fridge going quite happily. No idea of the longevity but NUMAX is a decent enough brand i think - that said it is only a stop gap as I'm upgrading to LiFePO4 soon(ish) whereupon the NUMAX will go into my Eriba Puck where it just has to run a couple LED lights and USB charging port.
