A nice neat job But personally I don't think that it is a Great idea to have a battery butted up to a turbocharger regardless of how good the heatshield is.
It will also prevent the airflow over the turbo as well, Which is also Not ideal.
I agree .
I have an Optima there with the turbo heat shield in place and another solid heat shield between the Optima and the turbo. Mine has a modified ARB battery tray.
A DIN 66 L battery would be a better fit or an Optima group 34 which is 800+CCA.
My Optima is three years old now and reading 90%.

Heat in that corner will be extreme.
Aluminium will fatigue off-road under that weight.
I couldn’t quite see the clearances to the actual battery but would be wary as under hard torque changes that engine could contact that battery.
I wouldn’t trust that set up on serious trips at all.
Agreed also i run that particular battery as my main 1000cca for my winch and i have 2 battery in the back for fridge and stuff
that tray is steel?Quote:

The battery is secured to the tray by standard battery holder mechanism as you have on the primary one (my primary battery is 1100CCA 110AH). I don't see any movement that could be possible under normal driving, but will keep an eye on that setting.Quote:
