QQ… house battery in side storage of ARb drawers?

[RKRUGER]

Curious if anyone has figured a sweet solution to carry a house battery in the area of the “fit kit” on an ARB drawer setup? Some of these lithium batteries are small enough that a creative solution might exist. Maybe a 50ah on each side?

I built/customized mine a bit different to make it level across the back with the mid height drawer

Get a Lithium battery that has BMS
Be mindful of charging voltage requirements for Lithium VS SLA using "stock" alternator output voltages (having no alt-s fuse mod)
Consdier using BOTH Lithium and SLA:

I would look into slimline LFP batteries and put one behind the 2nd row seat.

I put a 100ah mini on each side of my drawers. (Trekboxx)

Who has pics of the space you gain by removing the dvd player? That battery @xeuxaz linked to is less than 6” wide. I hate ripping into the interior and pulling stuff out, but no one uses the dvd player any more.

Or… build the battery box into the step up under the switches and outlets. I’d need to source the carpeted panels.

Should have been cruising the 200 series forum. Those guys have lots of cash and cool ideas…
