How is the stock battery plus the 2 smaller ones working out? When I get this I would like to keep my factory battery so my sub/amp has enough juice. Maybe just adding the 2 batteries instead of replacing 1 with 3 is a better solution?

Sounds like it might be a better solution for you, since you need the extra capacity. There is no advantage to the replacement of the stock battery other than the smaller packaging. Essentially, you are just adding 2 batteries. The replacement of the existing one is making it easier to fix the 3 in the same location.

Keeping the factory battery will be next to impossible unless find another location in the engine bay for the SLA batteries powering the unit. You sir might be interested in going with the Oddessy PC680 Battery.

The 925 will work well though and is only a bit bigger, 6.64x7.05x5.04 for the 925 and 7.15 x 3.00 x 6.65 for the 680. I ran the 925 for a few years with about 1000 watts rms and using most of daily. |

Stock battery is 48 Ahr ~500CCA (going from memory)
Fenton has a U1 equivalent starter (340CCA) ~ 35 Ahr and a Grp24 battery tray Using a larger Group 27 battery tray allows the use of a Grp26R battery (500CCA). There are a dozen possible combination for the battery conversion/fitment, but the stock battery is slightly to large, but can be replaced with the Grp26R or trunk mounted. I will offer 2 versions. BuTang has a high powered stereo amp. |

I have read every post but cannot remember. When will the kit be available and what is the price of the kit, including everything needed for installation?
Thanks, Steve |
