This was one of the first things I looked at on a Desiel GXL yesterday. It appeared from the quick look I had that there was a rigid portion mounted limiting the space for the battery but the rigid portion was feed by flexiable hoses which may allow so sort of modifed bracket like the power steering one for the petrol 120. Not sure what it is like under a Petrol 150 hood yet. The Eurpean ones all appear to come with two batteries so they must have some form of arrangements for them.

I had a look at this with some Toyota guys, looked like the 2nd battery is well catered for as there is already a mounting platform and slots to put the battery clips through; there was nothing inthe way that is not easy to move.

Unless I missed it the 150 second battery tray is exactly the same as in the 120 series. I have yet to do exact measurements but suspect the Piranha one will bolt straight in

Here are a couple of shots of a Kakadu D4D space for the dual battery
