Hi everyone,
I’m currently storing a smallish auxiliary battery (that charges from a voltage sensitive relay off my my main battery) in the seat base of my passenger seat. My sprinter has the 3 seats in the front with the two passenger seats joined in a bench setup. Currently I have to remove a bunch of bolts in order to get to the battery (which I have to go get to often as it powers my amps and pedals for when I’m playing gigs). There is currently a small hole in the front of the seat base under the middle seat (but it is two small to utilise as an access). I was wondering if it would void the seats legality if I were to cut a hole in the side of the seat base that opens to the passenger door? If it were to compromise the safety or legality of the passenger seats I won’t do it and instead will continued to remove the seats every time I need to access the battery (several times a week).
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Cheers
