melonhead Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm looking to get a SHURiKEN SK-BT60 but I need it for under the hood. I read a few posts on here that they were not made for under the hood. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonhead Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Nevermind. I'm calling them right now. They were closed last night when I postes this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 pretty much the same thing as a kinetik and i had kinetiks under the hood forever. i wouldnt worry about having one under the hood myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonhead Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah on Kinetik's site it says the 1400 is used in Hondas and Mitsubishi's which means it's ok for under the hood use. Shuriken's site doesn't say shit. I'm still on hold for them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melonhead Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Tech support just said the Shuriken isn't made for under the hood use. Damn. Does anyone have one under the hood now or ever had one under the hood? I know the Kinetik's are a little hard to find right now but I think I may have found some but they are $50 more. I'd really like to get an XS D5100 but $235 plus shipping is a little steep right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 i have the shirukens, but not under hood the case is thinner plastic and more prone to heat destroying it or cracking from impacts if the bottom is fully supported and its held in place well and away from heat it should be fine. most stock batteries have just a cheesy support on the bottom and a bar across the top, two places where the pressure can crack into the case...

melonhead Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 If it matters it's going in an 03 Civic. I can get an Optima for around the same price as the Shuriken but I've seen a lot of you guys say the Optima is crap. But at this point anything is better than my stock Honday battery which is now dead. So I need a new battery here pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
