Never understood why anyone would put a battery in that location, exposed to all that water and road dirt. Crazy IMO. Newer Morgans with the battery by the rear axle have an opening in the ply panel behind the seat, for somewhat easier access. Perhaps you could cut an access panel to make it easier in future?
I'm so glad mine has the battery under the bonnet (2005 4/4 Zetec 2-seater), so changing it recently was a clean, 10 minute job.
