skippyboyo1 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Is there any after market battery holders? Reason I ask is my standard one is shot plus it's so ugly, I'm sure I've seen a billet version before but not sure where to start looking.

Scott Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 You'll either need to make/buy a custom one, or you'll need to hope that someone sells theirs. I don't think there are any off the shelf solutions, could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 if you look into getting one custom made I may be interested in seeing if we can get a deal on two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Can anyone tell me the size of the stock one and the size of standard +/- terminal connectors? Trying to work out of the Varta Silver 61Ah one will fit standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Those red tops are the best battery's apparently? It depends really. They're fantastic for audio and have amazing cranking amps etc. They HATE being deep cycled though, I've killed 2 of them by forgetting to put the trickle charger on. When they get down low.... they die. The yellow tops are the best really, they don't look too clever though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
