While fiddling around with the seat I got to thinking about battery placement, I originally bought a drop down battery box which I was going to fit in the rear corner under the bed but I wasn't liking it much after thinking about it, I measured the clearance under the seat and it was a tad tight, luckily i'm using a Optima gel battery and they don't care how they are mounted so flipped it on its side and instantly loads of clearance.








Next I made up a battery box in sheet aluminium and added a bit of details to the ends, the extra layer is welded along the edges.
