...And I like the idea of carrying a spare battery just in case. However, make sure it can't fall over and leak acid everywhere! :ohmy:


Thanks.

Back left seat is folded down and my large plastic box of tools and stuff is wedged up against the base of the folded up seat. There is just enough room to wedge the battery between the other end of the plastic box and the rear door of the Jimny. My compressor and small holdall of other tools are to the right of that behind the other back seat which is in the normal position, so the battery is wedged in good and tight.

Good that is the case.
A long time ago, far away in another life. a friend of mine with a lovely Triumph 2000 was taking a spare battery to the gliding club to use for operating the signal luights on the 'launch control bus'. At some point in the one hour journey the battery tipped over. By the time he got there the carpet was totally ruined and he had a huge clean-up job to do, not to mention neutralising the acid to stop corrosion.


IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

That sounds very messy. Nasty stuff inside batteries. I am always wary of them, and the weight of them if they are not well secured.

That's an oxymoron. There is nothing lovely about snow!
