Have a 1st generation, wondering where you are all mounting dual batts and what batts are you using? Making mounting brackets or?

Pictures would be appreciated. Thought there was a thread on this but can't seem to find it....

thanks in advance!

OK I was gonna wait To see what other people did, but I guess not to many people do it. So heres mine.

I found a smaller size battery because there is no room under the hood. I don't remember the numbers, but it is about 5 3/4 x 10"
and if I remember it was 550 CCA. I use it for my non-essentials, like rock lights, spot lights, stereo.........

I built a box that the battery just fit, then I cut a hole in the left fender that the box just fit. then I welded that sucker in there.
First I had to remove the ign. coil from the inner fender, then remounted it to the battery box.

heres what it looks like from the top.

would have been better to put the battery in the bed or in a toolbox

thats where my spare is

I went back and forth on that, but I just didnt want to run wires that far, and my dogs ride in the bed.

A guy once showed me how he took a battery from a jump box (jump pack) that is pretty small but lots of juice. The guy put it in his dash and wired a splitter so it would charge independently. The idea seamed like it would be a good alternative to craping a full size battery under the hood.
