Ill take it up to Vic's for a look and I reckon a second bat can go up near the rear scoop. Running a redarc under the seat to a rear mounted 2nd batt should be no issue.

Sounds good.
Access would be the only compromise.

Hi DownSouth, how'd you go with that rear bat mount?
Looks like there is space but could be a bit exposed; also xxxkgs battery would also require some robust fabrication.
Any pics would be appreciated.

There is very comprehensive information posted on this forum by David Scott who fitted a second AGM battery in the bin under the passengers seat in his WK2 Laredo. Apparently it worked out very well. Won't work in vehicles with Qlift as the control module fills the space.
I searched for it using David's name - hope this link works.

I plan to mount a second battery on my drawer module behind the fridge when our WK2 gets here.
