Huge leisure battery

[chris.s]

Hi all, hoping to purchase a new agm leisure battery to fit under drivers seat. Anyone any recommendations as to a good quality battery for off grid so around 200ah that would fit. Most I've seen seem to be just too big to fit underneath, would welcome any help, thanks

you won’t fit anything near that capacity under the drivers seat. If you need 200ah, look at a 100ah lithium or two smaller AGM, one under each seat

Thanks, was thinking it may be asking a little much! best I could find was a leoch adventurer agm 160ah but was'nt sure how good/suitable this battery would be. May have to explore the one under each seat option but wanted to try & avoid extra wiring etc. Thanks for your comments though.

As @Deaky above..

200ah AGM is equivalent to 100ah Lifepo4.

Due to the max 50% dod of AGM or SLA batteries.

The Loach 100Ah AGM fits... but will only give you 50ah usable.

2x 100ah loach, one under each seat will still only give you 100ah to play with..... plus cost of 2x batteries and install.

So look at 1x 100ah or above Lifepo4 to go under the existing seat.
