I know its a old post, but where do you get gel filled batteries from???
Anyone?

What sort of spec would I be looking at for one of those race spec batteries.

Thinking about moving mine while I'm doing the exhaust sytem as someone isnt happy with the position:)

It's also good as it reduces weight high up and moves it to th eback to distrubite it better. Ideally I'd for th batter mounted in the spare wheel well to get it as low as possible. or better still use a gel filled race one which is tiny and put it under the pasanger seat.

remove the original terminals off the +'ve connection, mounted them to a battery cut off switch, earthed the earts to the bulk head. put battery in the back rear 1/4 as in the picture below, ran a bit of welding earth wire to the cut off switch and battery thru the bulk head and earthed the battery to the boot floor.


i did it so i have room for my air box

might be some pics in my garage, i used some mega thick amp cable and 2 project boxes from maplins for the connections under the bonnet.

i will fit my battery clamp when i get round to it, at the moment its just strapped in the boot.

mine uses a battery cut off switch too....

wtf, junction boxes?!? :lol: my method involves a drill, some big cable and some elctrical tape.

and it works.

Yeah something like that would work and probably make it look alot tidier :)

I'm thinking about whipping up a bigass junction box on the bulkhead

Erm... i believe you just extend the main wires to the battery through the bulk head and to the rear where you have the battery placed, some people have bridged wires i think and just ran one big power lead to the battery at the rear :)

1.4 bay looks more cluttered anyhow:



2.0 bay looks tidier to me:

I got Marks from Ebay for £40

ebay is good for battery trays.

corb has battery in the back so does broster

lets have a look at your wiring :thumbs:

also where did you get your battery trays from :boggle:
