Thumbs up Buschur mini battery questions

Just a few quick questions about their mini battery. How's the cold cranking power on this battery? I'm worried about the starts with this during the nj winter. Also, is there any fabricating of any wires nessicary to relocate this battery? Thanks guys Looking forward to some more great buschur products!!

I have it and it works great. It was not a smooth fit, and I am guessing because it is hand made. I got it to fit correct though, and I really like it.
Now if I could just get some help with the exhaust rattle.

I live in Maryland and we have already had a couple of nights in the 20 degree range. I have the mini battery and even with the car sitting for two weeks without being driven it started right up. It's not in a nice warm garage but on the carport so it gets subjected to the cold. Buschur did the install of my stage 1 and 2 mods which include the 3" inch exhaust from the turbo back. I have not had any problems and could not be happier with the service and products I received at Buschur. I'm hoping Santa will leave a Buschur FMIC under the tree!!!

Good Luck!

Good Luck!

Thanks fellas. I've used buschur products before in my 1g, but haven't had the pleasure to use them in my evo yet

From what I know about the battery, it has enough cranking capacity to crank this motor over.. I think the only issue would be reserve capacity.. I wouldn't run accessories very long without the engine running..

I figured as much about the reserve. I was just particularly worried about cold starts

You'll be ok with cold starts.. quite a few people in the Northeast have this battery.. you'd hear about it RIGHT away if people had problems.

So far so good for us too. The battery is just plain black when they show up here. The guys we get them from tell us they are 800 CC amps. They don't have a ton of detail they want to let out. I would imagine it is so we don't source them elsewhere.

I know we have dropped below 20 degree F here and the car has started. The reserve capacity is probably not really high on anything this small. So leaving on your lights and radio for long periods without the car running I am sure would leave you screwed.

I don't have this specific small battery, but I have a 10lb 800CC amp battery. When it dipped down to about 20 and the car sat for a few days outside, it cranked just a little slow, but didn't have any trouble starting at all. I even left my lights and fogs on when i went to the movies the other day and it started right up. Thank goodness for the auto shut off for the lights.
