I attached a few picture of how much room I have to play with hopefully someone out there was in the same situation and another pic the the cooler setup so you get an idea what I mean. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you use a dry cell (optima or odyssey) to avoid an explosion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealed batteries don't hav the breather holes in the cell caps insted they hav one vent hole with a hose in it also found in alot of euro cars with batteries in the boot.
