Thread: Flat battery - dual battery system?

Curses! Whilst investigating the problems, and connecting up the charger to the second battery in the spare wheel well, I noticed a wet area around the battery tray. Hmmm.

I've just pulled the AGM battery out of the wheel well. It's leaked.

I thought they didn't leak and could be used in any position. It's a good thing mine was upright.

I've spent the last hour or so stripping it all out, neutralising the acid. wire brushing, hosing, and cleaning.

The LPG tank is in the wheel well, too, so it might need to come out for a check.

I think the AGM battery will have to go into the faulty goods thread.

Hi Ron - I'd be very interested to hear how you got your 2nd battery installed in the spare wheel well, and any gotcha's. It's exactly what I want to do with all that useless space under the floor. Well that, and maybe a spare air compressor...

Paul, now that you have a 4.0, you won't have a subwoofer in the N/S/R 1/4.
Years ago, we fitted 2 batteries in there (stacked) for a LR car on the 1996 Calvert trip.
