What other Batteries can we fit?

[MessyHonda]

well i got a free battery from my friends car...he paid like 89 bucks at kragen autoparts. I took it in and they said that they would test it since it was dead and its only 2 months old...but i wanted to get a good battery....they could not get me a optima and the best battery they have is called a excalibur or something like that with like 84 months of free replacement.



A. what other batteries fit?
B. will it clear my CAI?(i already had to move it a bit to clear it)

whats they best cold cranking power for our cars...i dont want to burn up the alternator or ground wires.


im thinking i should go with a trunk relocate kit and then it would not matter what kind or size to get

go with the battery relocation, it will give you more choices of battery's to go with, and it will also clean up your engine bay.
Also if you do the relocation make sure you get the right gauge cable and fuse, don't go low quality

[MessyHonda]

im going to kragen right now. il see if i can just get a store credit till i decide or something.

[knarg]

relocate with a standard size battery, use at least 2-gauge cabling

[MessyHonda]

yeah i got a free regular batt

[knarg]

im probably going to get the reloc. kit from summit

i am buying the battery relocation kit from AZmike,if you want to you can get it instead, just PM him,i was just waiting on fundage due to the fridge burning up, i came into a whole bunch of 2 gauge aircraft battery cabling a few days ago,so i can make up a harness if i need to.

I am running a civic battery with my cai

i run a 81 civic battery it fit with the intake but from what i herd moving the battery to the trunk helps with handling since its less weight on the front end lol dont know if its true just what a guy with a 3g hatch told me lol

oo also it looks better in the trunk

um cah you have to have a suspension before weight transfer will help you

i have a mk1 swift battery in my car, sits where the passenger seat usually goes lol

[ghettogeddy]

im running a n1 from walmart never had a prob with it but i will be doing a relocation when i get the new motor in seems the right thing to do no matter what plus if you have a system its better to have the power source close to the amp so its not struggling

the battery relocation helps weight distribution, cah

moving 60lbs of lead (literally) to the rear of the car makes a big difference.

[Oldblueaccord]

go to the odyssey battert it's only twenty pounds and has plenty of power to crank the car,alternator does most of the work anyway. except when you exceed it's maximum output. battery only is for starting and when you have a load on with the car off.

Use a battery that works. Quesion answered.

[MessyHonda]

well it saved me today.....i left my lights on my dx and when i came outside the batt was dead. so then i just had it on the trunk and switched them out. took less than 5 mins...i am so lucky.
