Leisure Battery

Post by stevenm »

I know this has been asked before and there is some info in the wiki.

But has anyone found a proper leisure battery that fits under the front passenger seat.
Regards

Every leisure battery I have ever measured is 8 inches high---max height to fit under your seat--without a bodge job is under 7 inches--

I have one that fits nicely.

Trouble is it's about 36AHr so only really usefull if you are very frugal with your 12v needs. I'm not sure the make (no markings) but it has M6 screw terminals rather than posts.

I have had an "ordinary" 85 ah battery in mine for nearly 5 years with no problem. (I expect it will go t*ts up now :lol: ). I only use it for the interior lights though and if I'm away for more than 3 days it will always be on a site with hook up.
