I've seen people having an extra car battery in the boot for the extra ICE they have.
I am thinking of installing a small extra battery in the arm rest to boost the power of my existing racing battery. Question is, what is the proper way or doubling a battery and is there a problem with mixing different battery types and size? For instance, can I add a small 12v motorcycle battery with the 12V car battery? |

BMW's, Mercs and Audis have batteries in the boot. Some like the Q7 have it under the seat. As long as its secured its not an issue.
It looks like I am going to HAVE to move it to the boot. However I am considering putting it behind the plastic where the antenna motor is and build a small battery tray there as to the opposite side to where the jack is kept. Now I just need to find a VERY powerful battery yet SLIM/FLAT enough to fit there. Any suggestions? This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Mar 19, 2014 - 12:37 PM |
