hidden battery?

[1993_accord]

i have been thinking about this for a few weeks now .
about hiding my battery under the front bumber cover.


if any has done this mabee post some pic.s
if not.

what things sould i look out for?

[deevergote]

Why does everyone always say "bumber"?


A full size battery isn't going to fit there very well. Get one of those small Odyssey batteries and you can hide it pretty much anywhere you want. The best way would to be fabricate a bracket for it... though I've seen people just zip-tie them in place.

[1993_accord]

yaaaaa zip ties just just will not work for me!

Then you'll want to look into doing something like this:



That's in a Lotus, interior mount... but you can do something similar in the engine bay, trunk, whatever.

i feal if you are going to relocate your battery why not wide it wile your doing it.
"my 2 cents"

[1993_accord]

mabee you can give me some info on that battery?
were i can get it ?
auto zone?
advanced?
etc.etc.etc.

That's just as an illustration. Simply showing you a battery relocation using an Odyssey battery and a custom bracket. If I was showing you EXACTLY what you should do, I'd have chosen a picture of a CB, not a Lotus.
If it helps... the trunk is in the front of that Lotus...





You're on your own from here on out, buddy. I'm happy to help, but I don't spoon feed. I've already done more thinking and searching for your project than you have yourself. It's your turn.

Keep in mind that if you "hide" it too well, how you gonna get to it to jump start your car if needed? You could probably get one of those odessey batteries or a Braille battery and install it in the spare tire well. At least that way all you gotta do is lift up the carpet and floor board to access it.

If you get a small battery like that, you could hide it in your trunk surround.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, go into your trunk, left hand side(Jack is on the other).
Grab the top of the stiff fabric and pull it back. You'll see just plain metal. Put it there.

Make a custom plate with a hinge if your going to mount it behind the bumper so you can take the arms off and the plate will drop down with the battery on it.

Genius..I ALWAYS thought about relocating my battery to the rear of the car. It is entirely too annoying to have somebody try to get their car in a completely opposite direction just to jump start it.

Thanks. I'm glad people like us are smart enough to leave jumping posts, right?

Lol, you make it sound like a horrible task to just turn a car around...

lol might have to look into the odyssey batteries..

Summit Racing carries them and Password Jdm makes a relocation kit for the EF that should work for a CB it goes inside the frame rail. You have to remove the battery tray.
