Mini battery kit or relocate battery to trunk. Which do y'all think is more practical? Pros and cons?

 

depends, if you drive more than 2 days a week in your evo and dont live in super cold weather.. go mini battery and save the weight!

Otherwise relocate to the back and enjoy a less understeer =)

 

I have the odyssey mini battery, sucks in the cold though.

 

How does it hold up in the heat. Lets say, AZ type of heat?!

 

Miata Battery and buy it from any autozone if it dies. Plus it has a warranty

 

I wanted my battery completely out of the bay, and I wanted to leave the thing in the garage for more than a day and have it start. Besides, the Trunk battery box from Taylor is around $100 and SCCA compliant if you want to start going that route. It is just overall a better idea for my uses. I think weight is negligible to the standard operator. Besides, you're moving some weight to the rear.

 

Any thoughts on the Braille b2015?

 

I relocated my battery to the trunk. Cheapest route and its VERY easy to do

 

Why would you have less understeer lol

 

I did both mini and its mounted in the trunk. The mini is a huge weight savings, and honestly i dont like having a battery clouding the engine bay.

 

Yeah I'm really not a fan of that big heavy battery taking up space either. It's already tight enough in there as it is.

 

I can relate lol. I did the same thing a while back on my old evo when my mini battery died or failed to start in cold weather. Was a great battery, just as small as the aftermarket ones and with warranty LMFAO.

 

Haha are they really that small?! I can't say that I have ever looked at one

 

Battery in trunk = required to have a shut-off switch mounted if you plan to race the car.

 

yeeeeeah It's my DD. unless I plan on racing soccer mom in her mini van to the grocery store to get the closest parking spot to the door.
