    What else do you keep in your Defender battery box (besides a battery)

    Theres a heap of spare room in there - does anyone else keep tools, spares, jumper leads, bottle jack, wheel brace etc etc in the battery box or is there a good reason why this is a bad idea? If not, how do you pack it or do you just throw it in making sure not to short the battery terminals

    Another battery!

    With the standard cranking battery, plus my large-ish 120A/Hr auxilliary, the smart solenoid and its cabling, fuse block, etc, etc, there is NO room left. They take the whole lot up in terms of flat area, and the aux battery almost touches the top cover it's so tall.

    the solution is to modify the floorpan of the battery box.....make it nice and flat.....
    THEN see what you can fit in there......

    Oki-straps, snatch strap gloves & jumper leads. I'm a a bit cautious about putting anything hard, heavy or metallic in there - and it does get wet from time to time with the drain holes too. Since it's all soft stuff it doesn't need packing and you need to make sure the battery has some breathing space.

    You could easily fit a dimembered head in there. That would freak out any mechanic


    A short from the battery could make the eyes open, then shut, then open then shut
    Or a dimembered hand like Thing

    I am with Omaroo. In fact the same setup.

    120 amp/hr Deep, along with an Orbital Blue Cranker.

    Topped up with a RedArc SmartStart, and in case, with manual override Switch - allowing manual isolation.

    I have placed Industrial rubber Mat over the top, again, like Omaroo the Terminals are a bit to close to the lid for my liking.

    H'mmm, Like the idea of a rabbit in the box, but the battery is more practical (Unless of course you are isolated and Hungry).

    Cheers,

    mr_sav
