Light-weight Battery or Battery in the boot?

To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

Light-weight Battery or Battery in the boot?

Post by nitin_s1 » Fri Nov 27, 2015 5:06 pm

As my battery is completely drained up and not holding charge no more.. I am left with two options.

1. Get a light-weight battery. :arrow:

I already have the clamps and bits/bobs to move it to the wing. (Got them from Mudgey)

Or the other option (2) is to get a normal Prelude battery and move it to the boot.. :arrow:

If I get the light weight battery then I'm not sure it will hold enough charge as the car rarely gets used. :idea: and if I get the battery for the boot then I will have less space there?

What shall I do ? Options?

Option 3. Get a normal Prelude battery and put it in the engine bay. There's even a space for it. :P

Nitin I have mudgys battery tray. A stinger spv44. It's 12kg vs 18kg oem. In the boot. Chumming away.

Drive the car once a week if I'm lucky. Holds charge fine.
