My cables runs on top of the drive side chassis. So....install another battery in compressor position, cut & interrupt power and negative wires and have a second auxilary battery.

Will you post it here please?

Down next to the SLS compressor is where I have my second Aux Battery mounted. I have it dedicated to run the fridge and the smaller Aux battery on the ARB tray under the bonnet runs lights, stereo, UHF etc. I mounted it there as I have no room in the back (cubby boxes) as its a seven seater and I didn't want to remove a seat.

if something unforseen happens, there are less heavy objects in the cab,,

the engine bay is cluttered enough without a second battery I reckon

Here are the pics of the ARB battery tray for the TD5 without rear aircon.


ARB part number is 4232030

hey thanks for the pictures and info MUCH appreciated. Now all I have to do is find somone who sells it over here or will ship one from over there.

Can I be a pain and ask a few more questions,

1: does it fit to exsiting mounting points ?
2: How long / wide is the tray in MM, (ie max length of battery that will go in it)
3: whats the height or distance from tray bottom to the top of the bulk head seal ? Trying to work out if an Optima yellow top will fit in there
4: what shop did you get it from ? cost ? as I need to see if its feasable to get one shipped over ?

Thanks again
