hey im looking at buying a redtop off somebody and i need to know what battery size the max takes? i think i remember seeing threads about certain sizes not fitting well. does that mean any size will fit.. just with a little modification? thanks guys, i know this has been covered 100x.

 

the size im getting is group 34. what mods will i have to do to make it fit and connect properly with the +,-?

 

Did a quick search and found a few useful threads that may provide a bit more information for you.

i would go with the 75/35 size. that is the suggested size for our car anyways. with the 34 size you are going to have some trouble getting the cables on the post since the posts sit so far in from the sides. either you are going to have to get different cables or bend the positive cable some to get it to fit on the post.

 

but with the 34 size it can be done with just a little tweaking right? just an extender or something?

 

i am not too sure how much tweaking you have to do with the factory cables if you decide to keep using those. is there a reason why you are choosing the 34 over the 75/35.

 

im getting it for a trade.

 

Measure the distance from the center of your positive battery post to where the battery cable makes a right angle (underneath) going down.

Compare it to the distance of the center of the group 34's post to it's edge. I can give you this latter distance but just can't right now.


redstradic, where did you get your battery hold down bracket?

 

yeah, you are going to have bend the positive cable end quit a bit but i have heard its doable.

the battery tie down is from SWA.
