    Dual Battery Size

    I'm looking to fit a duel battery to my 90, i have a 120ah Fullriver from my last 4x4 but its to large to fit under the passengers seat.
    A 100ah Lithium will fit with a little re-aranging of that part of the battery box

    My question is what size in ah are members running?

    At this stage i will only be running a 60lt fridge. We have the main fridge in the camper so the 60lt is only back up. I would also in time be looking at a winch for the truck.

    In put would be much appreciated.

    Cheers
    David

    Running the stock battery, which I belief is 90 AH, plus a 90 AH Full River AGM.
    That still leaves enough room to install a Ctek D250S and a Ctek Multi 7000 under the seat.

    you can fit 2 x n70 sized batts under the seat.

    you have to rotate them 90 degrees so they run across the car (if that makes sense)

    Thanks guys,

    I have got a good price on the 100ah Lithium so i will get it & do some battery box adjusting to get it all to work. The Lithium is smaller than the N70 so should work well.

    Cheers

    I have an Odyssey PC1700 and a 130Ah sealed unit (can't remember make but length and width are same as Ofyssey and about 15mm taller.

    I also have room for an Albriet winch solenoid, a few relays, aux fuse box and aux earth bar.

    Needless to say there's not much spare room in there and I need to make a new battery cage, but it all fits and works a treat!

    also the good thing about n70's is they are as common as *** holes...

    We are going to bring one in & test it first.

    The price is around $500 without freight & only weighs 12Kg , my Fullriver weighs 36Kg & i have 3 of them.

    I will update as we progress.

    Sue nice article on your beast, looking forward to seeing it all setup!

    Cheers

    wow that's quite a weight saving!

    yeah I have 2 x 130Ah agm N70 sized batts to run my fridges.
    never thought to put them on a set of scales but they are crazy heavy!
    much heavier then any battery I have picked up before.

    they work very well though
