Oversize Battery in Stock Location


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is there anyone here that has a Battery that is Larger then the stock battery in its location? If so... What all did you modify to get it to fit properly?

To give you an idea of what I'm going for, I have a 2011 Altima and a d3100 battery that I'm wanting to fit in the stock location. All dimensions are good besides the length which is about 4" too long. I was going to run it as a secondary battery but thought it would be better to try and fit that 83lb battery under the hood to relieve some weight. I will only be running a RF T600-2 and a T2500 so that battery alone plus the Singer Alt i'm getting will be more then enough for that setup. I'm just wanting to refraim from buying another battery and relieve some weight in the rear (which would be a win win situation lol), esp since I'll have all my stereo weight plus passengers if I have them and dont want any rubbing if I do have any because in the near future my car will have 20s on megan coilovers!

and getting a 3100 to fit under the hood??????

sure... i bet anything can happen.. but .. shit.. Have you seen one of those?

Yes I have it sitting on my bedroom floor... Like i mentioned, I was gonna use it as a secondary battery but figured it would work better under the hood for weight reasons and simply to save $ from having to buy another battery... now the stock battery actually looks like it has a little wiggle room as the 3100 width is the same, the legth is the problem, its about 4" longer the nthe stock battery but it looks to have at least 2-3" of wiggle room, ill upload a picture so you can see

Your best bet will be a trial and error to make it fit. Pull your stock battery and see if you can get it to fit. If not see what its touching or hooking on and determine if you can move it a bit, trim it or possibly relocate it. Anythings possible with enough work. Just depends what issues you have fitting it and how you decide to deal with them when they arise.

Appreciate it, I'm defintely willing to cut to mke it work I didnt know if there were are others who tried to fit oversized batteries in the their stock locations, or if everyone stuck to the stock specs. I'd rather make it work then spend another $250 on a battery just for starting purpose when i have this battery that big enough to start and run my planned system (of course along with a HO Alt)
