Mini battery

Anyone know where they sell mini batteries like Buschur has? Looking to get the upper I/C pipe but $225 seems a little steep for a mini battery. I can fab the mount myself, I just need the battery.

We are running the following Xstatic battery and have it placed in the trunk. We built a custom sealed aluminum battery box for it.

From what we've seen, this has the best cold cranking power of any of the small lightweight batteries, including the Odyssey.

We are using the model 800.

Aren't you worried about hydrogen gas build up in the trunk? Most real battery relocation kits have a sealed case that the battery sits in to keep the hydrogen from escaping into the trunk area. Your custom built unit, while it looks nice, is not a sealed unit.

I want to keep my battery up front.

I'm sure there is one out there for less than $225.

Is that a battery used to power amps or will that battery crank the car, also on cold nights? I'll take it if it will crank up the Evo on cold nights. I live in Ohio.

Could you get a picture of it?

No. This is a dry cell battery that doesn't release hydrogen gas. You can mount it anywhere. Please do a search for postings from Vishnu and others about installing a dry cell battery on its side underneath the passenger seat.
