Thread: deep cycle for D2

I am assuming that you have a Defender. A second battery can fit under the passanger seat, next to the starting battery. It is a tight fit, and can't use any tie down bracket. A foam pad over the top, and under the cover keeps everything in place.

Oops, just re read the title. Don't know about a D2

Hi wardy, it depends on how much trouble you are prepared to go to because there are a number of places in and around your D2, to fit a second battery.

The most common location is in the rear of the disco’s cargo area.

There is also a very large space up under the driver’s side rear guard, which is accessed from underneath the bumper.

On some D2s there is room for a small battery to be fitted in a box type fitting, under the D2 on the passenger’s side, directly bellow the front passenger seat. This is also a good place to store tools or something else.

Cheers and hope this helps.

At the rear of the engine compartment, LHS. I think Baz (Redback) has his there.

We don’t believe you unless you post pics. :wink:

I have a deep cycle fitted to my D2 TD5. Land rover have a battery cradle that fits just above the reset switch for the safety cut off. (Rear fire wall LHS.) Was about $50.The battery that fits a is a Deep Cycle King. Can't see any part number. It's only a small one but runs the Evercool for two days as well as spots, air compressor, Flouro light and HF radio.

Hi Mrray, that sounds like what I'm looking for. Is Deep Cycle King a brand name? never head of them and wouldn't have a cle where to get one....... any help would be appreciated.
