My little Travato battery project
The chassis battery is pretty huge on this van. It's under an access panel below the driver's feet. It's a pain to remove this panel and get to it. The battery looks like one you'd have on a diesel ...

I bet it is an AGM, and they are using the same battery for the gas & diesel motors, that's why it's so big. (The Sprinter has the same setup under the floor with an AGM).
I also installed the Battery Tender Jr and plugged it into the microwave outlet so it would juice the chassis battery anytime it's plugged in or the gen is running. Works slick!
My personal feeling is that I would never hook anything up to the chassis battery to pull from it, but that's just me.
Not that you won't do this, but be sure to fuse all your connections close to the battery....
