V250 W447 largest battery that can fit?

Winter is already here and I love using my aux heater before starting a journey in the morning. Few times I get the Low battery message so I charge the battery overnight with my Ctek.

I plugged in my carly bluetooth dongy and it tells me the state of the battery is bad with 65% charge and 10% self discharge. I imagine from this numbers the battery lost almost 40% of its capacity?

Before I open up the passenger seat and see what kind of battery I have in there, is there somebody who installed a large capacity battery, let's say the largest capacity possible for the space under the seat?

Thank you in advance

Hi there

I swapped the old battery for a OEM Varta same reference as the original battery from before.

I didn't find anything online of a compatible battery with larger capacity and the space below the passenger seat is very small.

Best regards

Thought to take advantage of the space on the left side front seat and retrofit an auxiliary leisure battery as in the Marco Polo's and hook on the auxiliary heater and the music system.

Are we talking about the passenger or driver seat? Just to be sure, as I have LHD car.

The aux battery in the V250 is behind the front passenger seat, behind the rear panel but there is not a lot of space for more. The normal battery is in the side of the passenger seat. I haven't checked the same positions and if there are installations inside the drivers seat.

It could be that it will depend on the factory build and if they were included
