    Dual Battery rear bin.

    I need to install a second battery and have decided to go with a rear bin install. Just wanted to ask if anyone can recommend what side to place the battery LHS or RHS? Mine is a 7 seater so I need to get a rear bin from a 5 seater either LHS or RHS to do the install. Thanks.

    I used to have this in my previous d2 i fitted it on the rhs so that you only run the wiring down the same side as the main

    Do you have dual air conditioning on your 7 seater, as the evaporator and air con fittings are on the left side behind of that panel. If so you won't be able to use the left side.

    It wasn't.

    Mine never had it, and I had the "Town Classic" version of the D2a

    I'd be considering the left side, to put the weight opposite the driver and its marginally easier to get to with the door open. Agree though that the cable run would be shorter and simpler for the drivers side.

    Cheers

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to go with a RHS install. My car is a D2a classic, no aircon in the rear.

    I am also abt to fit a slimline Kickass 120AH deep cycle battery into the rear RH bin.
    Can anyone advise the best route to supply power to the battery in the RH rear bin? I am assuming power is run from the VRS (mounted next to the front battery) along the top of chassis rail toward the rear, where is the best place to enter the rear of the body without any major modifications ... ie: are there any grommets available in this area?
    Secondly, can anyone advise the best method of securing the battery in this location.
