Hi all
I am re-fitting my leisure batteries to the new van. These are 2 x Platinum Sealed (S6110L) batteries that I have taken out of the old van.
One is going in the proper battery compartment and the other is going under an internal bench seat.
They are close together but to link them up the cables will need to go around some internal fittings so will need them about 24 inches long.
Can someone confirm what size cable I should use to join them together and do I need to put a fuses - if so what size and what fuse holder to fit the wire?
Also, in my last van the dealer had fitted the 2nd battery and just mounted it under a seat with two straps screwed to the floor and as I found out when I removed the battery last week, didn’t include an vent tube which I think there should have been.
Should I buy a proper battery box to put it in and if so how do you fasten that to the van floor so it doesn’t move around?
Any advice welcome
Richard
