I have a really nice 155AH AGM battery mounted in the empty space under the driver seat.

I'm helping a friend on a van design and they wanted to ideally use this same space for a battery, but get something with a little more storage (200-250AH?)

Does anyone else use the empty space under the seat for a battery? What Models have fit? Any other suggestions on great 12v AGM sealed batteries in the 200-250AH range?

Using the phrase, "battery driver seat" on the search bar will bring up this:

Lots of good info for you to peruse....

Have fun with your build!

I don't think any battery over 200 AH will fit under the seat. A very high quality battery of about 230 AH is a size 8D AGM Deka made by East Penn. Concord/Lifeline is similar quality.
You get what you pay for. The Deka 8D retails for over $700. I am familiar with one boat where I installed 3 of them almost 15 years ago and they are still in use.
