Battery options Options

[awd4kicks]

What kind of options do you guys know of for your car battery.

I recently relocated my battery to the rear hatch area to make room for the FMIC piping. In my opinon this is the first step away from a dependable daily driver (Second if you count owning a DSM), now that I had to remove the spare tire.

What are your experiences with the smaller race type batteries? Do they hold up to DD use? Do they have the cranking abilities of the standard batteries?

Are there any other options anyone knows of? I would really like to keep this car as DD friendly as possible.

If you still want a good look on your car. Find a FWD spare tire cover and hammer down your "hump" to be level with the raised brass supports. Lay the cover down. You may have to slightly modify where it meets the rear seats, but it should work. You can then mount your battery where you want, and it won't look weird with the carpeting. I would also recommend a dry cell if you are mounting inside the car. Also, go with AT LEAST 2 AWG wire to run up to your engine bay.

Regarding your "taking a step back from being a daily driver" remark; when is the last time you used your spare tire? If you did, you could **** up your center diff anyway, right? That's what the roadside assistance part of your insurance if for. I used it quite a bit. You need it with a DSM
