Hey Jan, how about this kit in place of windshield washer fluid bottle? I've seen a few of the Braille battery kits being mounted there and was wondering if that is how that package is normally, or you have to custom make something like you have here? What do you think of that placement as opposed to yours?

I like that. 'Jan' hehe
|
lol..well I could sit here and type out his whole name.. :P But I'm sure Jan works.

In summary these are my arguments against the two common locations: Trunk
Windshield Washer
And both of these mean i would have to look at an ugly battery tray and hideous intake tray or remove them and have radiator heat all up in my business :) |
Quick question, would I be able to order in the next week or so?
Also, is the metal painted or primered? I ask because I want to paint mine to match a few things. |
lol I hear ya. I don't believe I saw a post on this, but the tray doesn't work for stock intakes yet, correct? If so, I'll be very interested in one of these, and I'll pick myself up a battery as well. Thanks for the info Jan.

I live in Jersey and will be heading to Pennsylvania for college. I fear the heavy strain for cold starts. Can the Odyssey handle it. What about life without car on? Radio Headlights etc

If anyone has experience with these batteries in cold weather please chime in a let us know you're experiences. In the mean time I'll try to find some of the places i was reading about their starting ability in cold weather and post them when i do. |
Sounds good Jan. I'm going to ping Mazmart about this as well and see what they recommend. I don't use my washer fluid so I removed the whole tank anyways, along with my engine bay insulation. I barely drive the car, just weekends sometimes and race it, so I stripped most of it, thus why I mentioned moving it to where the washer fluid was. So I just wanted to see all options, even though this does seem to be the best so far ;)
|
advice from other members with this battery was that cold starts are fine and the car runs for about 20min before the battery will die. that's including a stereo system like my ride has. so just keep it running or don't run your stereo with the car off and you're good to go.
i need some way to get back to stock weight with my system installed, right? hehe |
I was wondering what other batteries that could be adapted...
I did a few searches and that battery is mainly for bikes... apparently. |
Braille and Odyssey are the only ones i can think of at the moment (although i know there are a couple off brands that have the exact same size). The bracket is going to be adjustable but you really can't go wider than 3.5 inches and their aren't too many batteries smaller than that.

Throw me on the list because I'll most likely get it. Only way I won't is if I somehow find something better..but I doubt it.

Woo... short term resurrection
I'm interested in this product, is this still a feeler? |

I'm still waiting...lol.

Good idea, you could add some lateral battery brackets too, so that we might fit even smaller batteries such as the 7lbs ones :)
|
have you made any progress on some testers? I'm trying real hard to be patient.
|
interested (subscribed)
|
right around the corner from you in Lacey so add me to the list of locals.
|
it would make more sense to relocate the standard battery to the RR trunk area than to save 25 lbs on a daily driver with a low storage capacity racing battery, the weight savings won't alleviate the aggravation of being in a hurry to go somewhere and when you turn the key all you get is the dreaded click-click-clicksound ....
|
i'm interested. add me to the list. hopefully it will fit with a greddy turbo kit.
|
Still waiting on the non battery version with price. non painted please
|
This still alive?
