Battery Relocation

[Hammer Down]

When I relocated the battery to the trunk on my Classic, I used the Red Top
Optima battery.  I did not use a batery box.  I used the stock battery tray
and bolted it to the trunk floor.  This allowed me to use the stock hold
down and plastic tray too.  Worked slick.  The Optima battery has yet to
form any corrosion around the terminals.  No corrosion on anything in the
trunk either.  Trouble free for over 40,000 miles.

Summit Racing sells a trunk mount relocation kit
with a plastic box for under $45.

I've just got to believe that's easier and
cheaper than running all over town,
although they do have a $7.95 per order
handling charge, so it's best to get multiple
items from them at once.
