Dual battery questions

Didn't want to start yet another dual battery thread but have a quick question. In my 150, the battery on the passenger side (factory location) has a 12'' RACV battery sitting on a plastic tray with the clamp over it. Is this as per factory or am i missing anything for the battery to go on? It has the footing there the same as the drivers side. The reason I ask is, if that is how it came standard, why would I need to go out and spend something like $200 for a bit of tin to fit a second battery to the drivers side when I can just make a bracket to move the aircon pipe over and chuck a clamp over the battery using the holes that are already there to fit the clamp?

Cheers Brad.

Yes, the arrangement you have is the standard factory arrangement. And in Europe they can be supplied with a second battery on the drivers side as standard.

A very good question! Why indeed?

Having said that, the factory set up isn't overly secure, but I've never seen anyone upgrade that side.

Cheers Brad.
