With this battery you will not want to run the bottle heater without the car running (might be ok for a few minutes). However, my car has both underdrive pullies and it can easily sit idling in the lanes with the lights on and the bottle heater on and then restart no problem if I have to shut the car off for some reason.

Here's the battery I have: http://www.gotbatteries.com/Productp...ctNum=37L105S1
Here's how I mounted it: http://www.mustangmods.com/data/440/battery.jpg
I can go back to a factory style battery in about 10 minutes. With these adaptor arms I kept the same connecting bolts to battery.

Just install it up front, it weighs 13 lbs. Also it saves all the associated wiring and hassle with a relocated battery.

Kinda hard to put a Battery back up front when this is in the way...
I do have 1/0 gauge wire ran from the front to the back...... so i cant get much bigger there
I guess ill use the Optima i have until i just buy it and find out.Kyle
