duel battery for 4.5ltr

[aj_vmax]

hello
I was just about to put a duel battery system in my 4.5 ltr 2001 gu. I would like to place the 2nd battery under bonnet was just wondering if any body has photos, I was thinking of moving the air cleaner and a few bits and bobs and sit it on other side of motor (one on each side of motor) any ideas please
thanks adam

Think you are on the right track as most with dual fuel have trouble fitting Aux battery.
If only on ULP just juggle some bits around there should be a bit of space in front of passenger

thanks threedogs I think I will take photos and upload them for anybody else who has same problems as i will run into.

ive got a 4.8 and have put the second battery right in front of the other one, just had to move the window washer bottle to the other side up near the firewall, pretty sure had to get the 3 litre SP type battery tray and cut the lip off it, able to mount another N70ZZ all fits in nicely.

Just looked at mine......the LPG conversion hogs all the real estate!

[04OFF]

Heres mine if its any help, (no LPG), home made mount, quite a tight fit, but didn't have to move anything to get it all in.

(sorry about bad quality, had to borrow my sons ph to take pics)

Mine is the same as 04OFF's and i have lpg. My lpg is injected though, no mixer must free up some room?

Is that an alarm or car horn near the firewall mate?
