will the size of the battery matter?

[hadokenny]

i just finished my sr swap and i have a question about the battery. The intercooler piping was in the way so i couldnt fit the regular batttery in. I got one thats a little more than 1/2 of the size of the old to make it fit. The car starts up fine but i am worried that there might be problems later on. Will the size of the battery cause problems to my car in the future?thanx in advance for the help!

No.

I have an SVR, and I know people who use Odyssey PC680's which are TINY.

Battery size doesnt matter as long as it still has the correct amount of cranking amps and for that matter cold cranking amps since fall/winter is upon us.

Word to your moms yall came to drop bombs.

another options is a trunk relocation if that little battery makes you worry.

[Redline240]

Yep, put it in the trunk! All you need is a battery box and some wire...

battery relocation is sweet. Now I have like 4" of wheel gap.

[Mr1der]

it also adds a little more weight to bit the road!

[IneedMoney]

its not the size that counts it the motion in the ocean just because its small dont mean that it cant preform big! just dont run many amps

lol, I have a frikin $20 Wal-Mart lawn & garden battery in my car that has a picture of a damned riding lawnmower on it. SO far I have had it for about 4 months and have had exactly zero problems with it. Just make sure you get a battery that has an absolute minimum of 300 cold cranking amps and you will be golden...

[RobDET]

Thats awsome! I WANT A TRACTOR BATTERY!!!!!

[hokiruu]

yeah, i have a pc680. i'm sure it would work fine for most people. mine is currently dead from all the cranking I've done trying to get my car running. no big deal, just hook up the jumpers and I'm back in there cranking

[solaris22]

Hey keyy just remember it doesn't normally take much to crank these 4 bangers up and especially during the summer but its about to get cooler in Texas and come november when we normally have some really cold weather that 300 cold crank battery your using will proly kick the bucket..........some cold, sleeting, drizzley morning......it'll suck.

[hokiruu]

hmm, i should keep that in mind too. it gets SUPER cold up here

[MojoMan]

I would keep it around 650. I dont even remember what the 240 requires but I believe it's around 650.

[240_Keyy]

hmmm I dunno, well see. Mine doesn't crank over but once or twice then it catches like a charm. If all else fails, I will carry around a spare battery

[IneedMoney]

the pc680 can crank over a small block chev just fine
