I'm trying to get reviews of dry-cell batteries for Z. Anybody has an experience with them?

Here is my post in other forum

Here is the one I used i my M3.

I plan on getting one for my Z at some point. It some some custom fabbing to make it fit in my M3 so I expect the same for the Z.

Looks like these guys have already made a kit to make the same or similar battery fit, but it looks a bit overpriced:

yes, that's it! thanks

Found Odyssey 545 at
http://www.gotbatteries.com/Productp...ctNum=37L141S5

for $69... So those guys from http://www.ntechengineering.com/ are a little bit unreasonable with 4x times price for the "kit"

Damn that's a great price. Don't forget you need the SAE terminals also. Let us now how your experience with that company goes.

Vlad

will be 79 with terminals... I'll buy in a week or so.

10.8 to 12 lbs weight (from different sources)... damn! thats 20++ lbs shaved off of front

Yep...I've been extolling the virtues of this battery for over a year now, but I don't think too many have followed up on it..

Do you anticipate having to extend the battery cables or anything? How do you intend to mount it?

Vlad

I really hope I won't have to extend cables. As for mounting I'll warry about it when its here. I'm sure drill and couple of aluminum stripes from home depot will be the biggest part of the solution.

Here is thread on installation of dry-cell battery. I didn't have to extend cables, but it was a close call
