Access battery on perentie

[LRDTD5]

Hi Guys, iv got a 89 Perentie, does anyone know the easiest way to access the battery under the seat? Trying to get a trickle charge system going...

Just like when you check the battery, 1. unclip and remove the seat base, 2. unclip and remove the battery box cover .... that's about it.

If you need to take the battery out it may be a little easier if you remove the whole seat (4 6mm bolts - use a 10mm socket or spanner).

Ye thanks... Ye I may need to remove the whole seat, can barley fit my hand in, let alone get some tools under.... Need to keep the spinners near by at all time incase of an emergency

Seat base? Cant see how it unclips

don't know what make of seat you have (I have seen 3 different ones in Perenties) - but is there a small white button centrally underneath the front of the seat? - try pressing/pushing that

or

if it has been damaged in service (some have been) just try giving the whole seat base a gentle tug upwards

otherwise

you may have to take out the whole seat (it's not difficult) - slide it forward to access the rear bolts, then slide it backwards to do the forward ones.


I guess you haven't yet checked the battery fluid levels then ?

Ye no buttons that I can see, looks like the seat, frame and rail are as one... Il have a closer look in the morning .

My seat base is held in by 4 pins. If you grab the front of the squab and give it a firm upwards pull the pins will pop out of the frame.
