Australasia how do i remove the auxiliary battery of grenadier?

[CRANO]

I would like some guidance on removing the rear bench of my grenadier wagon.
I want to remove the second lead acid battery and replace it with a LiFePO4 battery that will run my fridge.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry can’t help you there as mine is a two seater, so battery access is much easier. I’m sure someone on the forum has done it though.

Hi Mark,

If it's just the seat removal you need help with the Goose Gear seat delete kit instructions might help.

you do not have to remove the rear seat to remove the battery .

You can remove the plastic shroud from around it, unbolt the hold downs
and then slides out underneath the seat .

Hope this helps

Remember to put the car to sleep before you remove the aux battery. See the Rok Dr guide para 15.2.

Good point @Tinki, and a much better answer if @CRANO was only doing a battery change. He says he's converting to a lithium aux battery so he's going to need to pull out the battery combiner (ctek) and the interconnecting wiring then find space to install a replacement dc-dc charger. For that he will need to get some more trim out of the way. Two choices there: lift the seat (or at least unbolt it and tilt it back) then the trim pieces will come out easily; or wrestle the trim out with the seat in place. Having done the latter, I think lifting/tilting the seat would be much easier.
The Agile twin air kit instructions provides info on partial trim removal. This might provide enough access for Mark to do what he needs.

I tried that earlier but gave up after watching the loading spinner for 10 minutes.
It's very random.

I’ve had reasonably good luck using the tech portal lately. Of course now that I’ve said that I’m sure everything will go to sh*t…

I can't figure it out. Some days it is fast and I can open everything, other days not so much. I get that the access and load rate could be affected by traffic but that doesn't explain why the ability to open a document varies on different days.
