Does battery relocation make much difference at all?

Mainly for looks but DannyGti used a bike battery and saved 10kg total which aint bad for a small mod.

More space in the bay and everything just looks more tidy when its relocated tbh (whore)

[Karl]

10kg? wow, thats actually a quality weight save tactic.

doesnt it matter that the batteries smaller?

or I guess as soon as its running it charges anyways, so shouldnt make a difference.

Spot on lol...still providing the same voltage needed to run everything (only a small shed) so no worries

As Danny said tho, batteries can be pretty expensive.

Pic's up tonight of the car and maybe a small vid

[lavo-vts]

be careful with the bike battery it will let you down on the road they dont hold enough currant to run lights/wipers/engine etc at the same time

[dannygti]

red mine isnt a bike battery its a "proper" race battery, its a sealed and gell unit so wont leak but would cost you around £100.
