My stock battery is finally starting to sound a little weak so I might take this opportunity to shave a few pounds. Anyone using a mini-batt kit? Buschur sells a complete kit and AMS sells a mounting kit. What batteries are people having good luck with? I had a small Genesis battery in my IX that I had good luck with so I plan to look into that and also the Odyssey.

 

I've used Braille batteries and while they are expensive they are very lightweight and strong.

 

Looking at the stock battery tray and tie-down bar, I can reuse those and just get shorter threaded J-hooks.

 

You could but the smaller battery may still shift around. I'd spend the extra money and get the small battery tray.

 

Appears that both AMS and STM retain the stock tray, but do include a new tie-down bar. I'll have to take some measurements!

 

After taking measurements, if I want to reuse the stock bar, the battery will have to stand upright rather than lay flat like AMS/STM.

 

Interesting

 

Just get the one from STM with a lithium pros battery. It weighs like 3 lbs. I'm going to be using that for next year.

 

Only Buschur completely replaces the stock tray.

 

Look into the extreme turbo systems mini battery kit, I plan on running it in the future

That is some made in Taiwan battery, and ETS doesn't have a X kit. I'd rather get a battery made in the USA with a warranty for the same price.

 

I got in touch with STM yesterday and ended up getting their battery kit in anodized black. I'll post pics and a review once I get it installed. Thanks!
