I'm looking to move my battery to the trunk and replace it with a Optima Yellow top, what model do I need? I'm also doing a system in the near future, should I get two batteries?.. any help is appreciated.

 

also, are there any instructions on moving the battery to the trunk? what do I need to buy to do it.

 

Since you're doing the work now, I'd get two and run them in parallel. That should satisfy of all you future power needs. The only limitation would then fall on the alternator. I am not sure of the specific model# you need.

 

You don't really need a size since you are moving them to the trunk. I beliebe all yellows are the same, just different sizes.

 

750cca

 

I use the Optima Blue Top, Part # 34m-1050, you can get them here... http://www.remybattery.com/350/shope...cat=169&L2=&L3=

Here's a pic of my relocation to the trunk, I use a battery holder from eddiemarine, http://www.eddiemarine.com/cart/cata...oxes%2FCharger and had it smoke nickle plated. This battery holder is made for this batteries diminsions. Pictures don't do it justice. I overkilled the grounding in the trunk area as well as overkilled the ground in the engine compartment. Can't have too many groundsss........ I use 1/0 gauge on both the pos and neg wire, and the ground wire also runs to the front of the car to many grounding points.

I like the look of the battery holder you have, do you know what size I would need to fit, and do you use the blue top by itself, or do you have another battery also, thanks!

 

nevermind, I found it, but do you really need to optima battery box also? doesnt look like you're using one.

 

That battery holder is made for the optima you see pictured. The base of the battery holder is machined to match the bottom of the optima blue top battery. Go to the web page provided and read.

Yeah, I clicked the wrong holder at first, but I ordered the correct one, as for the battery I'm just gonna look around locally since shipping is going to cost a lot.

 

That looks like a sturdy holder. I like it.

 

It's very sturdy. When you try to wiggle it, it moves the whole car...no movement what so ever. I'm still working on the finishing touches to cover the back with the old plastic piece that i'm cutting to fit. The holder is a very nice piece of hardware that is flawless from the manufacturer. I had this piece smoked chromed nickle, it came as polished aluminum.

 

no wonder yours didnt have engraving on it, i ordered another color, polished box, black cover.. hopefully it goes with my car.. btw, i spoke to them on the phone and they will also ship them out w/o the logos.
