Has anyone used one of these battery acid mats?
http://www.amazon.com/The-Battery-Mat-Acid...attery+acid+mat Does anyone have thoughts on using this as an alternative to buying an Optima type sealed battery? The battery in my 914 isn't very old so I don't really want to replace it, but I am concerned about worsening the battery tray and hell hole rot. My other thought was about cutting up a second one of these mats to fit in the hell hole/engine bay shelf area to help protect it in the event some acid does make it's way down there. Andrew |

QUOTE(bulitt @ Apr 6 2013, 10:49 AM)  you might want to check into a marine battery case. they are cheap. With a marine case how would you install it into a 914 ? What I mean is if the case is hard mounted to the battery tray I don't think you would be able to get the battery in/out. Or would you place the battery in the marine case and slide the case/battery in place ? If you go that route would you keep the case/top in place with a strap ? I have a marine battery case in my boat so I am familiar with them just curious how to use in a 914 it's kind of tight in that battery area. |
