The answer is yes Smile

E-Bay specials;

Ford/Kit car battery tray and clamp

Quick release Battery Terminals.

Hardest part getting the new terminals on. Ended up cutting off the Jap Terminals and re-wiring to the new ones.

Best Bit;

Can go with a bigger Battery (Now a 53amp) Smile

Worst Bit;

Battery weights heavier Sad

Good stuff, can never have

Good stuff, can never have too much cranking power for the winter!

Although mine always starts within a second of cranking so even a puny battery does the job.

I have 2 batteries connected together,

Standard up front, and one in the boot.

A small 5kg Odyssey PC545 dry cell racing battery so can be mounted in any position and cant leak.

Both batteries work together.

Main reason is I had it lying around unused ready waiting for my GTti project, Although it's 8-10 year lifespan it's still better off in the YRV for the moment so it's kept fully charged.

Also i have a 10" amplified bass box, which is also connected to the battery in the boot.

Will take a photo.
