When I first bought my Optima it was interesting to see how much unused space was left since the stock battery is so large, and the Optima so small. After a little bit of thinking I figured I could probably get two Optimas in the same location as my stock battery.
Optima in stock location:
New dual batt. tray vs. stock batt. tray:
Different angle of new tray (still need to be cleaned up and painted):
Had to hack out a bit of fender well and relocate the ABS module:
View from wheel well (without plastic liner in):
And all together:
Now I just have to decide how I want to wire it all in.
Oh, and figure out how to keep them in place. I was thinking about a strap, but I'm worried that it wear through too quckly.
