This is the install of the PPI Lancer Mini Battery kit:

Tools needed:

10mm open wrench
8mm Allen
6mm Allen
5mm Allen
Red Loctite (271 or 277)

1st: Remove the 0EM battery.

2nd: Remove the plastic tray: take care of removing the rubber line attached to it. There is also a plug attached to the lower corner of the tray. This will be a good time to clean the area below the tray.

3rd Install the lower part of the mini battery tray with the provided adapters using the 8mm Allen, you will use the two big holes were the plastic tray used to be:




4th: Install the 0dyssey PC680:

6th: Install the battery terminals with the 5mm Allen (put a small drop of loctite in the threads of the battery post cap screw) . Take note that the bigger one is the positive side (+/red) terminal. Then install the positive and negative cables and secure them with the 10mm wrench. ENJ0Y!

 

Nice write up!

 

Nice, but what is the benifit of a smaller battery..Weight?

 

Both losing weight in the front of the car and saving quite a bit of space in your engine bay.

 

Just finished installing mine. Overall it went well and was pretty simple, took about 20 minutes or so. Only two problems I ran into involved the positive terminal. First I had to remove my RRM heat shield because it was getting in the way and second the terminal just did not want to clamp down to the battery. After a few swears and some negotiation though I got the terminal to tighten down without popping off and all is good.

 

Regarding aftermarket car stereos and this mini battery kit, how nicely does this play with aftermarket stereos? I assume not so well. At the risk of sounding like a magnificent moron, I'll still just ask: I'm running the UDP and S & S with a second 350 watt amp to drive a pair of 12's in the trunk. I can only assume that this smaller battery may not drive all of that so well. Is that a poor assumption? Thanks as always for the patient answer.

 

I second that.. Except..
I will have the udp.
and I have in total 1400 watts powering an aftermarket stereo

thanks

 

The battery's primary purpose is to start the car. Once the car is running, all electrical stuff, including stereo, are running off the alternator. I have the UDP and the minibattery, with a 1000w system, and I have no issues with power supply. The tradeoff, though, is if you like to sit there and listen to your stereo with the car turned off. The mini-battery has less reserve power than the stock one.

 

/\ excellant answer, thank you Otter!

 

where can you get a set of those posts that use the allen to screw into the battery?

 

does this braket have the ability to be bolted/mounted next to the fuse box?

 

You can't easily change where it mounts to the vehicle. This is because the mini battery tray uses the original battery supports.

 

Where can i buy this Battery Kit

 

You can buy it through me. I sent you a pm!

 

i need to get a mini battery! ^
