PUMA Dual Battery setup

Afternoon all,
The next step over my 110 camper conversions is the dual battery setup. My original plan was keep my starter battery and add a Renogy Lithium 100ah leisure battery. I was hoping to fit this under the passenger seat nut due to its size it don't think it will squeeze to the side..

I've seen age dual Odyssey AGM battery and tray from Devon 4x4 which would work perfectly but I was. trying to avoid AGM battery if possible.

If anyone has some pictures or diagrams of how they've gone around their dual battery setup I'd love to see it.

Thanks

I've got the stock starter battery with a same physical size leisure battery alongside it under the seat box. I made the battery tray myself as a little project to practise welding. It all fits quite neat with the split charge behind. Obviously it leaves no space for the jack, chock.etc.

I've no photos to hand, but I did post about it on here years ago when I did it if you can be bothered trawling back though.my threads. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Like Bluest, I've got a dual stock battery, which fitted my needs better than a pair of AGMs. Not being up to the welding, I bought a battery retaining plate from GMB. Its a bit pricey, but light and very tough:

With two stock batteries, there is plenty of space at the back of the box for cable entry and a big split charge relay; and at the offside for cables and the like. On the top, there is still enough room for fat cables, inline fuses and a few other bits and bobs (I have a shunt and an insulated bus bar there). The only place where its all a bit tight is the inner side of the box.

Dual battery is OK for a permanent camper. I went for a power station, it provides 12V, various USB chargers and 1kW pure sine inverter all in a compact package.
