Leisure Battery Location?

Hi, I am based in Norway and to avoid paying a fortune from a "working" to "passenger" van I should not remove the bulkhead. I am considering to set up the battery in the rear of the van. I understood from your video that the earth cable from the CTEK D250se should be connected to the earth terminal under the seat. If I move the battery to the back should the CTEK still be connected under the seat? anyone has considered another alternative? Thanks

If it helps There are two chassis grounding (earth) points by the tail gate, one on each side. They are electrically the same potential as the seat ground point. Mine are populated with the rear heater blower one side and I assume the soft close assistance modules returns the other.

Great, thank you very much for the info and picts, I will check that option. Initially I was thinking somewhere just behind the driver but this option may also work
 
Has anyone mounted the auxiliary battery under the van? If so where?
i am a big believer in not filling cupboards etc with needless stuff.
i need 200Ah so too big to go under drivers seat unless i have 100Ah size, dont want under passenger seat as i swop double seat for single sometimes.

My leisure battery is under the drivers seat, this is because my passenger seat is a swivel seat so it would not fit under it.
I have the passenger seat as a swivel so I can use my van as a mobile office using the table that attaches to the passenger B Post.
