Thread: Dual Battery rear bin.

Mine is mounted on the LHS underneath my drawer wing because that's where the cable's and fusebox and everything was already run to when I bought the car!

There is already a big rubber grommet in the side between the bin and the side panel if you do it in the RHS.

Thanks for the info Slunnie, but have already done the job through the floor.

I'm guessing that mounting a battery in this area that the battery is not lead acid.
If it is how are you dealing with the vented hydrogen?
What type of battery is best for this location as it seems ideal to me for running fridges etc.
I think mine will be stated above, under draw wing.

Cheers

Ray,

I installed a Kickass 120ah deep cycle sealed AGM battery - slim line fits neatly inside the bin with room for a bracket to the floor pan and padding around the sides.

Thanks I'll look into those. I'll get the draws done first then I'll be able to see exactly what I have.

Ray,

These are sold by "Australian Direct" (australiandirect.com.au).
They are located on the Sunshine Coast but will ship anywhere. Can vouch for their batteries as I have one in my boat powering a Minnkota 55lb electric motor - can run it for 8-10 hrs no problem in the last 2 years !!(and come with a 5yr pro-rata guarantee

I have one of those Kickass batteries mounted in the space behind the drawers in the back. Seems excellent so far. Power runs from the passenger's seat under the floor and up through a hole in floor (with a grommet, of course).
