[miguelreb]

Hi all,

My name is Miguel and i from Spain.

This week i will mount the airbox of cup, but i have a problem with the battery. I will want a battery to install next to airbox.

Can someone recommend to me some battery that serves in this mod??

You can buy a small race battery that you are able to re locate under your passenger seat , these cost about 100 euro and you should find them on eBay , as for an exact model to meet your needs , sorry I can't help

A Varley 25 will be suitable for your needs. I think some people have used the smaller 15.

You can fit the V6 with a smaller battery in the engine bay bit you'll need to play around with the positioning..

check out my thread there's some info on the fitting.

Do other more economic options exist? In Spain Varley 25 costs 178€.

Edit: with the varley 15 the car starts well? I have very questions

Now, i found new price:
Varley 25: 140-145€
Varley 15: 125-130€

What model of Odyssey is good for me? I can find prices..

If you are using the V6 box it still might be a push to fit with a varley15,would be best to relocate it.

It will fit with a varley 15 and cage. I had to think up an extension bracket for the battery terminals as I didn't have enough wire for to reach round.

Don't forget you'll need different terminal fixings for the varley as well.

 

[miguelreb]

Yes, but i think that the terminals are cheapest.
Then, Is varley 15 enought? Now, I want find other battery with similar specs.

Not sure what you used for the extension but i just used copper,Did you have your varley flat Pete like mine?

I used a door hinge lol

Less conventional, but works.
