Dry Cell Battery

[jimmy1234]

As the title says, I have relocated my battery to the boot and want to run a dry cell in there. So what one should I get and where from...

I've not heard of dry vell batteries, google shows nothing either, you really are on the cutting edge of technology aren't you Jimmy??

Yeah on the edge....I could not edit the title.....But I am sure you know what I was saying.

I don't know about a dry cell but you could try an Odyssey gel cell.

Should be able to pick one up from any reputable battery supplier.

Had an Optima yellow top dry cell in the old car... Paid nearly $400 for it at a car audio place...

go an optima, good batteries, pay a bit for them however a mate has a fishing boat he fitted two to, many years ago and they turn 300hp outboards over every time and have never needed charging.

Optima is a good choice. Full River is also good for alternative sizing. Odessey have always been poo.

[PHANTMXR6]

Odessey have always been poo.

Bit harsh, considering you can't even spell it right.

Got any reasoning as to why you think this?

I love Optimas, have had them in my last three cars and never missed a beat - copping a decent stereo load.

Heres a pic of my current one installed - fyi they don't fit in the factory battery box either (not the D34)... and one day I'll move the fuse holder to a permanent home.

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?
