Hey all,

i've been looking into getting an Upper IC pipe, however i'd prefer to go with a mini-battery kit, but i'm curious to know whats the disadvantages or cons of getting a mini-battery?


I plan on getting a light system in the near future, i don't want to have any problems.

Can anybody give me the cons of a mini-battery?

thanks!

 

if you're out in the cold, some people seem to be having cold-cranking problems.

for me, the only problem i run into is that if you take the car out for a bunch of short trips, without a long trip in the middle of it all, you're not charging the battery long enough, and sometimes it makes this really loud "boink" noise, all the lights dim for a second, and then it starts the car up

 

that and you'll have problems with running your radio without the engine on. You'll die real quick.

better just relocate your battery to the trunk..

 

your stuck with the large size stock one

 

anyways if you get a small battery kit, forget about putting subs in the trunk. also a lot of the smaller batteries have trouble producing the same CCA (cold-cranking amps) for more than very short periods of time as regular sized batteries so if your car doesnt start up right away then your battery is going to fade fast simply because it doesn't have as big of a "resevoir" of juice



and by light system do you mean like underbody glow or interior lighting? you shouldn't have a problem with running them while the car is on, but combine it with a few other things and you could run into some trouble

 

sounds perfect for my RS, no radio at all.

 

the CONs of a smaller battery is that you're stuck with a large size stock one.

That makes absolutely no sense at all

 

lol he means,
once u install ur mini-battery, you have your old large stock battery in your hands to worry about now.


Thanks for the help guys!

Does anybody make a trunk battery relocation kit for our cars?

 

small battery gives you the honda effect!
you know the one where when you step on the gas the lights get brighter!

 

Is there a tutorial on relocating the battery to the trunk, and can you buy a wire kit to do it..

Does anyone have pics..

 

This person wrote up an nice install with a battery box:

I also did a relocation to the trunk in this thread:

Hope those help

 

I already have 4gage wire running from the battery to my trunk for my amp and subs..
I was woundering if I could just use that, and do I just ground the battery to the chassis of the car?
Then I would just connect the amps directly to the battery..

Do you think this will work... all I would have to buy is a battery box to keep it from rolling around!

 

Nice one

 

you could get the racing battery for the engine bay and get a dry cell for the trunk.. dry cells dont need to have ventalation and youll move the weight distrubion towards the rear

 

I see that you can speak Retard. Could I PM you something for translation?
