i was wondering where you guys placed your battery in your trunks. i want to do that i just wanted some ideas. thanks guys

 

i had mine originally where the spare tire use to be to keep weight in the right location. now i have two on each side though.

 

here is mine i have to get a new box though plastic piece of crap.

 

here is the cut off switch.

 

Kandied91z, what in the world are you doing with 4 batteries??
And, a question for all of you....is there anything that changes when moving the battery to the trunk??
I plan on moving mine to my trunk, and just wanted to make sure like it does not affect anything.....i am assuming nothing changes....just, the pos. cable running up to the front of the car and attaching to everything under the hood as normal...
Thanks!

 

what should change? everything runs and works normal if you hook it up correctly if that's what your asking. cleans the engine bay and of course moves weight but beyond that nothing else special. i did it for room under the hood more then anything.

 

IM on my way of doing it too. Steve87, i see that im not the only person that took the carpet out and there was that one square foot of material that wouldnt come out.

Did yall guys run your wire under the car or in the car?

 

i ran my postive wire on the inside of the car along the passenger side and i routed the kill wire right with it.

If you've got a dry cell battery and don't have to deal with tech inspections at the track the BMR mount makes for a clean install.

do you think they would say anything about it right i dont have the top to it broke.

 

Here's mine...

Must be certified hardware and be vented to the exterior for track legality. Cutoff switch must kill engine.

 

Steve, is that a drycell in there?

 

yes its a optima yellow top.

 

Don't think you need to worry about venting it, then. Might not need a lid, either. If ya do, just cover it with saran wrap.

 

good thinking

 

Gel Cell, Dry Cell, Sealed Batteries still all have to be in an approved box vented to the exterior. Mine is an optima in there as well.

 

No kidding, that's lame. I still like the idea of hiding it in the spare tire well, then getting one of those 2 lb display batteries from Checker and mounting it up front like it were the real battery.

 

?????

 

I was reading about that in another thread. Some guy had the idea to hide the battery in the spare wheel well and conceal the wiring really well, then go down to the local auto parts store, ask for one of the hollow display batteries that they keep on the counter for people to look at, then mount it in the car as if it were the real battery. They only weigh a pound or two.

When you're at the track and the inspectors pop the hood, they only see a battery in the battery tray, with red and black wires coming off of it.

 

haha thats a wicked idea. gotta try that one
