Second Battery Location for a JK?

[redmenace]

Does anyone know the best place for a second/auxilliary battery. I understand there is insufficient space under the bonnet. I have a four door and want to run a fridge when camping.

if you just want an easy removeable one at modest cost, make a bracket to fit over the mounting bolts of the passenger seat, at the rear. buy a battery box and bolt it to the bracket. when you want to use the battery just undo the seat retaining nuts behind the seat, slip the bracket over and replace the nuts. battery fits in palstic battery box. run wires forward under plastic floor trim on passenger side through to engine bay , and connect to a redarc system. cheap and basic as you can get.

well i just fitted my aux battery in the storage area in the rear. it is a remco 105ah battery. I had to cut some of the fibre glass on the cover but fits perfectly. I have put some rubber underneath and high density foam at either end, to stop it moving, around and give it some cushioning for the corrugated roads i will be driving on up to the cape.

will take some photos and post over the next few days.

Did a search and can not find this thread are ther photos of the underbody mount, as i would like to have second battery mounted permanantly but not in cab. My JK is CDI auto unlimited.

The Remco 105ah Battery is one option, or fit a large box in the back but you have to remove the Muffler.
