I would say the cab battery in a fiat is under the front passengerโ€™s feet in a right hand drive van

I donโ€™t know about Frankias but hab batteries can be under the front seats, under the floor, in the bottom of cupboards, in an external locker or in the garage.

Getting there!
If itโ€™s like ours, Lift the โ€œshoe boxโ€ cover by the door. They are to the left of that under the floor looking in from the door.

Found it, the leisure battery is in the garage and the smell is only coming from there now. Engine battery looks ok so far, only 2 years old. Leisure battery is 7 years old.
