Hi
We have a 2015 640 Le Malibu we love it
Just put a 2000 watt pure sine wave power inverter in behind drivers seat as we have second battery there
Having 175watt solar fitted in two weeks by vanbitz near Taunton

Yes one battery under each of the seats

I'd try to get away with a single lithium battery if I could to save weight. It'll still deliver more power and store more energy than a pair of lead acids.

I managed to squeeze two 110Ah lithium batteries under the navigator’s seat. I think there’s a bit of overkill as we’re low power users and one lithium battery was probably enough. Still, more capacity is always preferred to less.

I got a FogStar 280Ah under my seat. Definitely overkill.
