Thread: Where to put extra large battery in 90

I guess it comes down to how creative the OP wants to get. I dare say if you were to change the passenger seat box there might be implications with engineering or the finished work as the seat rail integrity and seat belt mounts might be compromised?
Then again if you go to those lengths then you might be better off getting a more suitably sized battery at step 1.

You cut a whole in the floor an 1'' larger than the battery and get a sheet metal shop to make a drop box to suit,a couple of 10mm nuts welded underneath for the clamp and it's done. Pat

Still doesn't help that the battery is longer than the available space in the battery box by 50mm. No drop box will work in this situation.

Thanks for all the help and advice, much appreciated. Having had another look I think I'll make it so I can remove one of the rear seats and have the battery mounted there, I'll set it up so that I can easily remove the battery and replace the second seat if it is needed. The battery is heavy, it weighs around 60kg. I took a run out to the 12volt shop over the weekend and got a few ideas from them, they were really helpful and knew their stuff. Thanks once again for the help, I'll let you all know how it goes.
