2 batteries under the passenger seat
I am looking to change the main battery and leisure battery. Both are located in the battery box under the passenger seat (RHD) and it has always been a squeeze. My current leisure battery has been redeployed by my wife for an electric fence to keep the horses in…. So it is a perfect opportunity to get 2 new batteries which fit well… any recommendations? Thanks Beware the lollipop of mediocrity��. one lick and you suck forever!

2x optima red tops in mine. using a military wolf battery cradle to hold them in place, kind of diagonally they fit in.

I think Devon 4x4 also have a double battery tray for the Odyssey.

Can fit two 019 batteries in a Tdi seatbox fairly easily. Ed

Why 2 batteries? You could just go for one large battery instead and make use of the space that way. Not need for fancy dual charging circuits either.

Is there any chance you could post a picture of your batteries in the Wolf tray?

When raised by a tray, two 100/90Ah do fit

I made a tray by myself but you can by these.
