Not daily driver, I can put on trickle if not driving for more than a week. I have searched and gotten alot of info on the batteries but nothing on how to tie it down? Thanks

Easy enough to build your own bracket with 1.5-2" aluminum strap. Lowes.

Cheap battery, home grown bracket and even passed tech. Search the Weight Loss thread for info.

This is half the cost and less than half the weight of that Porsche battery. It has worked flawlessly (no trickling) on my car as a DD since Feb. Still expensive though...

Made my bracket from lawn mower bracket...

I've run these before but 1st 925 lasted me 3 1/2 yrs...on second now.
I may plug in the trickle if I know I am not driving this car for a week or two...otherwise fine.
