Yeah it is tough to have such a small battery for the winter time. I am going to do the trunk routh this summer time. it is 10 degrees outside with a 20+ mile per hour winds...Too cold to work on anything. Would it be too dificult to put your stocker back on for the winter?

its funny seeing this hread as i went through the dead battery thing this morning and im in florida which makes it worse lol. it wa about about mid 30's this morning

 

I have 5 dead mini ones in my garage... dont know what to do with them... I relocated stock to trunk... best choice ever

 

jersey here my battery dies after 2 days of not driving it

 

my 1.5 year old mini battery died on me last winter in philly. i had to get jump started a few days in a row. bite the bullet, get a new battery, or relocate a stock sized one to the trunk.

 

i live in new york and the past month this has happend to me..its because its been 0 degrees every single day..mini batterys in 0 degree weather only pushes out 220 amps! that is nothing! and in 32 degree weather it pushes out 370

 

I just moved up North and never had a problem with my mini battery until then. I bought an Optima red top and relocated it to the trunk, and so far, works great. Now I have a Nisei mini battery kit that i dont need. Maybe you should go that route as well. On another topic.... Mini battery kit for sale

 

was it a pain in the @$$ to move ur battery to the trunk? i want to do that so bad

 

Cars come with full size batteries for a reason.

 

HAd the same problems with my AMS mini battery when I first got it.

I run a trickle charger EVERY night to her and have had the same battery in my car for the last two years with out issue.

And it's been COLD this year.

 

The mini batteries have a horrible record. Especially if you have an alarm system or don't use your car EVERY DAY. PC680 is an expensive unit for the lifespan. Personally I will never use another mini battery unless I absolutely have to for fitment.

 

plz tell me where i can get this lol

 

You can buy em at any parts store/ ebay for $20 to $30 and they have automatic shut off as not to over charge the battery. Well worth the money.

 

^^ What he said...I used to trickle charge mine when it got down to the 20s at night here in TX. Makes a huge difference and they're cheap. Just search battery tender

 

Wal-mart too. Commonly used for motorcycles.
