as some of you know im doing dbdrag and meca this year. and well db drag doesnt let you run with the car on so its all about batteries. im sponsored by kinetic and stinger plus im a dealer for tsunami so im looking for a bigger battery unfortunatly the biggest i can fit in the factory spot was a 800cca battery. im looking to move that up to a 2400 monster (kinetic) or a 2150 (stinger) any ideas on what i can do? reloacating the batterys is an option but just cuts down on space i have for enclosure.

ahhh...the spoils of SPL are upon you. Have you looked at Motorcycle batteries, they are still 12v, they are much smaller and they are sealed, or some of them are. Might be an option, you can fit many more than standard size batteries. Just a thought...didn't put too many brain cells (cells..pun..get it) behind it.

then use a Train Locomotive battery. It is massive, but damn that thing holds some juice.

but they are very expensive.

hmm...I know of an econoline van that used to have 6 of those batteries in his van...hmmm.

Let me do some research for you Bill. I was serious bout that battery, but I can find out some dimensions for you if really necessary.

I vote for Kinetic! Even that thing is pricey.

yea but since im sponserd by them its cheaper my main issue is where to put that massive thing!

well, how about making a cubby hole for the battery in the back of the enclosure. It doesn't have to be pretty, just functional and safe.
