Default Boot mounted battery...

Whats the options regarding battery trays? Dont really fancy welding in a standard battery tray from escort in the back, is there anything a bit neater. Also wiring, whats the crack regarding track use, does it have to be isolatable? Last thing, do I need a different type of battery with it been inside the cabin?
thanks
Steve

Battery box's are available, and also sealed gel type (i think) batteries are prefered so acid could not splash all over the place in the event of an accident.

PS. Have you recieved my PM ?

Only problem with gel (or non liquid) batteries is they are expensive BTW.

IIRC it was a box from a boat that I had on my ST205 GT4 that ran a relocated battery in the boot... pretty heavy duty thing that was sealed up and mounted to the boot floor.


Cheers,
