battery search

[doug harding]

still can't locate the leisure battery on my carthago 143le compactline. van battery is under the nearside footwell. any ideas please?

Usual places are underneath either driver or passenger seat. Maybe some black plastic covers at the bottom of seat which should unclip and be removed. I had a 2nd hab battery under the sofa, lift the cushion and then a wooden base on a hinge got me in to it.

Got any photos of the area near the hab door?

Mine is under a hatch under the floor inside the hab door.

sorry my Instamatic pictures have to be developed at Boots! thanks for help. i wondered if the battery was hidden in the build process. seems obvious looking in the manual but not obvious to me!

that is shown in the manual. looked in every hatch/locker. must be a stealth jobby!

On mine you open the first floor hatch and there is a piece of felt which you remove. Then there is a black steel brace that is held in by a slot on one side and a screw on the other. Remove the screw and the brace then the piece of ply underneath and there is the battery (or batteries in my case).
