Battery relocation to the boot

I want to relocate my battery from the engine bay to the boot to make space for a custom fuel surge tank and also for future ICE installation in the boot. 

Most battery in the market will be too tall or too big to have it installed in the boot and still be able to continue have the 'boot box' installed. Therefore, I ended up with two odyssey PC680 battery to overcome the problem.  Thanx to my mechanic cum fabricator, I was to have my design realised for the battery mount.

Fabricating the mount/tray
For my future usage (ICE). One PC680 may not be able to support the demands, therefore I went ahead and got two of  them. Even so, I am not confident that two of them will be enough.

But the PC680 are more compact and lighter than normal batterie, which makes it is easier to install.






Positioning the tray

The battery tray was constructed by welding L bars together.

Snug fit!

I will update with a new post once I wire up the batteries.
