2 places to chose from, the factory auxiliary position by he ABS pump or in front of the main battery. I put mine in the auxiliary tray but had to cut a hole in the lid as i used an 85ah AGM instead of a crappy yellow top 55ah.

Either the rhs near the brake booster/abs unit or buy a mount to put it straight behind the main battery

Got a pick of that? I just put in a 55ah yellow top and while in happy with the neatness i do want a bigger battery. I was thinking of putting in a third but the additional cost is putting me off.

Yep.

Just putting it out there. Behind the second row of seats. More initial set-up cost. But will fit 2 x100ah batteries if you need more capacity later. Will definitely last longer than in the engine bay and gets the weight low and central. Had my auxiliary behind the air filter but upgraded to 2 x100ah lithium’s behind the second row seats. Working well so far.

Thanks for that mate .I thought about the aux spot but my battery is an 85ah same as yours .Here's me worried about looks but looks ok to me with how you've put yours.The battery i have is fairly big so i will have to do a few adjustment.Cheers.

Another option would be to hide it in drawers in the back

A few options, for me I use the 3rd row seats occasionally and don't want drawers mounted so under bonnet suits me.
