I run a '03 Discovery that I have a electric/ hydro plow on. I need either a bigger battery or second battery.
What is the biggest battery that will fit in the stock location or what have you guys come up with for adding a second battery?

Dual battery set up is probably going to be your best option.

 

you need an old jeep that you care nothing for. A plow beats the living Sh@t out of trucks. But if you really want to destroy yours I would do a dual battery set up along with a heavy duty suspension set up.

 

As another guy from the snow plow winter wonderland a bigger battery is all you need.
If you are only using the truck to plow a parking lot and nothing else you are going to need to either put it on the charger or let it run for 20min after the job is done to charge the battery.
If you are doing driveways then make the one farthest from the shop the last one you do so the battery has time to charge on the way back.

 

Thanks guys. I have been using this for a couple years now. I fabbed up the mounts and added helper springs otherwise the Discovery is stock. The only problems so far is the battery is not up to task and the original front shocks are getting tired.
This thing makes a great plow vehicle, I plow my own drive way, and my repair shop lot as well as the shop next door. I was hoping someone would chime in as to a common size larger battery that can be wedged in the stock location. Where have second batteries been located on these models? I imagine the guys with big winches have the same problems?

Columbia Overland makes a tray that you can pop in. Not sure what kind of "repair shop" you have, but it looks easily dubplicable. Also, thanks for the pics. I have no need for a plow, but when you posted up I instantly wanted to see a Disco with a plow on it.
