but... but... but... it's not chrome?

Kinetik HC600 does the job perfectly for me. can be had for $100 shipped

how are you guys mounting the smaller batteries?

also found that a sears battery is too tall for the stock battery tie down.

We went with an Optima Red Top simply b/c we needed reliability before weight savings and it was the right height for the stock tie down (using the supplied spacers). (that and we needed it Immediately). :)

The Braille batteries come with a rubber tie-down kit. Don't know about the other brands

DUDE it doesnt take that much voltage to charge the car. Try putting together a Flux capacitor, gerbal, Exercise wheel, AAA battery and 6" of wire and your good.

I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
