So what one should I get and where from... Edited 23/01/09 09:44 PM by jimmy1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 5m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/01/09 02:46 PM Share Posted 28/01/09 02:46 PM Random question- because these are sealed batteries, do the need to be mounted in a box in the boot? Or can they just be in a tray or bracket with terminal covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
