moving battery inside

[supercraig1]

Thinking about moving battery off of the tongue and into the front cabinet under the microwave on our 161. Understood I'd need an AGM or a lithium so there are no offgasses. Just wondered if any of you have done this or similar. I'd like to take the battery weight off the tongue a bit, but more importantly that would give me more room to have a place to keep our portable waste tank (empty of course) since the battery wouldnt' be in the way (the tank would fit great between the propane and the fuselage)

Be sure not to diminish your tongue-weight to much, it will effect TT handling.

understood. But in reality I'm just planning on moving the battery back about 2 feet. It's more about making room for the waste water tank.

Thanks for the heads up though.

If you do, make sure the floor is in good shape and possibly reinforce it with a piece of plywood larger than the bottom of the battery to spread the weight out. Don't skimp on wire size to the converter. I would leave the old wire in place to keep resale value and the possibility to go back to original open.
