relocating a battery in a mini, where is the best place?

yeah my factory battery bracket broke today while i was at sonic tonight, and luckily i had zipties, so its time to make something new and move it. where can i move it, somewhere close to where its at, and not have to extend those wires? just behind the bumper above the sway bar??? just an idea

im gonna run 2 batteries on mine... one behind each forward quarter panel (permitting i end up w/ available space) i really have no need for 2 but imo its better to have even weight distribution.

btw- scooter, whats up with the 4 door in your icon? lets see a bigger pic of that photochop.

well i cant move it to the back quater panels, my bags are there.on 20s and 22s

put 'em in all that extra cab space you got now!

I don't see why you couldn't build something kinda low on the radiator support....wouldn't have to mess w/any wiring that way.

i think thats my best bet, gonna have to check it out tomorrow after work...

yeah...seems easy enough,I thought about doing something like that once,if you have close to the space I have it shouldn't be too bad. the crew cab is gonna be badass btw.

yes it will my friend....yes it will....

Those Kinetik HC800 batteries are small and powerful. Might look at those if you don't have a lot of space to work with. If you're not worried, get some of the bigger Kinetik ones anyway. They are very nice batteries.

That's what i've got in my s10, it's stuffed in that little hole next to where the jack used to sit, and it starts my 4.3 no prob. it's like the size of a lawn tractor battery.
