I don't know about locally, but this is the one I was looking at before I picked up an ETS: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=362672

1. Go to Advance Autoparts and get the motorcycle/ATV battery with a part number ETX14 on the box ($80). You will have to browse the batteries yourself, because the ETX14 number is not in their computer system. This battery is the same re-badged mini battery many companies charge 2-3x.

2. Pick up some hardware and aluminum bar at Home depot/Lowes.

Figure out how you want the battery situated. This battery is sealed and can be layed down. I opted to keep the same configuration as the stock battery so it could be returned to stock with no holes/missing parts.

EDIT: I did have to drill a small hole in the NEG cable to the car because this battery has bolt connectors instead of posts.

I found the mini batts online brand new for $102 I have heard you can get them as low as 80, but I haven't found them for any lower than $102..... it is not the orange one that everyone else has, it is a black one made by the same company with a different sticker.....

Happy to contribute to your car habit. I dropped my IC piping and mini battery kit pieces off at the powdercoater this morning to make them all pretty and matching. Will post pics when they are done.
