Dual battery in my D4 2011

Afternoon all

Just after some advice I am looking at fitting a second battery in my D4 I have the second compartment under the bonnet how ever there is some of the electric start bits there has anyone moved these to make way for a battery ??
Thanks in advance

I put the extra leisure battery in the rear left hand compartment in the boot...easier than moving all the gubbins and small aux battery in the front

I went the external route, ran the +ve through some Kopex flexible conduit in/around/over the chassis, neatly tywrapped in place Very Happy

Thought it would be simpler than removing loads of trim/breaking clips etc. The splitcharge relay is in the same compartment as is the fuse panel for the switches/usb sockets/additional lights etc

Only took a few hours once I was brave enough to remove the rear quarter panel !
