I am looking to install a 2nd battery in my 1996 Disco I.

Anyone know of a source for a tray/bracket for the 2nd battery?

 

also interested in one, winches suck up a lot of amps

 

You can buy battery trays at most auto parts stores. I took out my jack and put my second battery there.

 

That's where I would look at stuffing it also. But then what about your air intake? Anti did you have to modify your intake housing there? Reason I ask is I believe my little retarded horn looking assembly of the front of the air box looks like it would get in the way or be restricted. Of course if you put in a snorkel you would have plenty of room where the jack goes to fit that second battery.

 

air intake is on opposite side of engine from battery..at least on my rovers it is

 

LOL, have you opened the hood on your new DI yet?
The air intake and trucks jack and wheel choke are infront of the air intake on a DI.
The other possible place to put a second battery is where the washer solvent tank is, you can get a smaller one and mod it to fit next to your second battery.
Then instead of filling it once a year you fill it once a month because it no longer holds 2 gal of washer solvent.

 

You just have to careful how you add it into the charging system..............

 

Oh, right, sorry, been so long since I did it. Yes, I sawed off the air horn on the box.

 

I think I'm just going to put it in front of the air intake, where the jack is. I will solve the air flow issue by installing a snorkel.

 

Sweet idea man! That's the way to go.
