Im going to be moving my battery to the boot soon to free up some space under the bonnet and was just wondering where i can get a box to put it in as im guessing that it needs to be sealed. Any info would be great, pics are a bonus

Thanks in advance

This seems ideal but how do u mount it? need something with tags on the bottom so i can bolt it down.

I would imagine it would have holes in the bottom of it for bolting in place?

If you just want a little more space, you could fit a Justy sized battery instead (about half the size and a lot lighter), simpler solution?

Wish they would take a pic of the inside!! will call them tmrw. Might mount it in spare wheel well or keep it on show in the boot

Good idea but got it in my head that i want it out gonna get rid or the washer bottle as well and use my i/c spray bottle for my washers. Mad i no but i just hate the look of the engine bays and trying to tidy it up a bit and de clutter. Plus im really bored

Here is a kit for an evo that includes fitting.

Remember you are going to have to run a cable the length of the car and then rejoin all the cables that connect to your battery at the moment.

Hi

Relocated my battery and washer bottle a few weeks ago
Also using a sealed optima red top battery in alloy battery tray bolted through floor pan.
Sourced all the parts easily enough online
Fairly straightforward and apart from the weight distribution benefits it does free some space up in the bay which i must admit is why i probably did it.
only issue is that when i'm parked on my sloped drive the washer bottle is higher than the jets and gravity takes hold and empties the bottle
