So what one should I get and where from...

TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/01/09 02:46 PM Share Posted 28/01/09 02:46 PM Random question- because these are sealed batteries, do the need to be mounted in a box in the boot? Or can they just be in a tray or bracket with terminal covers?
