Just purchased my first Bentley GTC 2013 (4ltr). I like to keep the battery in tip top condition by using a Ctek. The handbook for my car says there are two batteries in the boot but there is definitely only one ! Where is the other battery? Hoping someone can advise.

Roy, you will probably be best to call into a Bentley Garage, the forum can be a bit slow on the more recent cars.
Best of luck.

I expect the supply dealer will have their name and phone number pasted somewhere, give them a ring.

Roy, just in case you are still looking for your batteries, there is one in either side of the boot. You will need to remove the cover, but it should all be self evident.
As you may have discovered by now, there is no need to access the batteries directly to keep them on charge. There is an external connection under the left hand side of the boot lid which takes the magnetic connector attached to the Ctek supplied by Bentley. They are c £320 ( if my memory serves me right) from the dealership but there are usually a few on ebay at much less.

Still no sign of a 2nd battery.

There definitely is no cover on the right hand side of the boot. My guess is that the handbook covers both 4ltr and 6ltr engines.
