Pictures of yours in situ please.

Im looking @ getting one of these http://www.1st-optima-batteries.com/. But i dont no what ont to get

 

They are awesome batteries, you can mount them on there sides

Expensive though

 

Yes but which one lol 650 cca or 900 cca.. 75 AH 55AH ?????

 

Red top 30 for a cossie everytime.

For mounting pics, look here. www.motorsportwiring.co.uk on the gallery

 

here's my setup

 

Thats a few years old, you must look after it! (they're black now) Secret is to keep dry-cell battery's topped up.

Definetley don't leave em flat , not even for a week or two!!!

 

Heres mine :

 

That looks tidy

 

Cheers Spiky

WD Pro, is that a custom cradle or an off the shelf one?

looks sweet

 

here's mine odyssey 545
Cranking ability is as good as the biggest
AH battery i've ever had. but,
these don't like low current draw like
car alarm/stereo over 3-4days.
if you use the car everyday its fine
even in the freezing cold mornings.
the weight saving is massive tho

.

 

So when choosing a battery how do you no what Amps and CCA to go for ?

 

Home made to suit riviting to my chassis, dont know how well it could be mounted on a more normal car.

For those mounting them on the side on a flat surface - I saw a kit car with a machine ally billet clamp on made by spec R, that was very cool

 

Those DMS Red-Top style racing batteries are a bad bad idea for a road-car.

Optima on the other hand.

I have an Optima Red Top in mine.

 

On the same note,

what would be the best battery for a car that's not used for 6 months, and is in a remote garage (there is electricity, but i don't want a trickle charger in there if sometimes I never look in that garage for months, it could fucking burn down without me knowing, lol)

I don't care if its empty and I can recharge, I'm just fed up with normal batteries that can't make it through the winter if I don't go in and charge the battery monthly. (wich I always forget anyways).

 

Ie what Optima Red Top would i need for a cossie

 

I think Shaun is after one for his RS1800 track car, not a Cos mate

 

what would you guys suggest for a 1400 205 used for rallying? the battery on her now is Huge!

 

See Spikey's post fella, that battery is mounted in his 205 GTI used for track abuse!
