So apparently it’s confirmed that the 2.0 doesn’t have the second auxiliary battery below the main battery, but they come with the bracket?

Does this mean it’s a great space to use for an aftermarket auxillary battery system?

I was debating whether I could fit this there: https://dakotalithium.com/product/dakota-lithium-12v-20ah-amp-hour-23ah-lifepo4-battery/

Hooked to a nice solar setup this could be enough to keep me going off-grid semi permanently, without wasting much space.

Yes, I know I also need a separate charger etc. since this is LiFePo, and factory is AGM, but this could me mounted somewhere else.

Any feedback on this?

In the 3.6 it's under the big battery. Down in the hole in part #3 on the diagram.

The stock secondary battery is a group 14. So if this one you are looking at is the same or smaller then a group 14, it should fit.

I can’t seem to get a solid measurement on this battery. I would like to be able to use the whole compartment.
