First, put the top up to get it out of the way.
Then, remove the carpet piece sitting in this well behind the seats.
The carpet is sitting on the decklid in this picture.
The cover panel over the battery is held in place with four 1/4 turn fasteners. The screws have a flat screwdriver head.
I carry a stubby screwdriver in the glovebox for this purpose.
There are two wells for the battery. Originally, the MBG came with two 6-volt batteries connected in series (to make 12 volts).
When I got the car, this is the way it was set up. Just one 12V Odyssey battery jury rigged in place on the passenger side well.
The Odyssey battery is much smaller than the original 6-volt battery.
Battery charger connected to the battery. I set the charger at 2A, which is the slow charge setting (it's better for the battery to slow charge over several hours, if you have the time).
Redoing the battery mounting is one of the items on the to-do tasks for the MGB. It's a long list...
But for now, the car drives so it lives the way it is...
