Battery Upgrades ANY one???

[Tackle83]

Hey,

was just wondering if anyone has found a drop in replacement battery. The alternator is overkill for the size battery that comes stock with the pioneer.

I know i can build and relocate a second battery but a drop in replacement would be nice.

I thought about buying a optima and enlarging the box or relocating the battery. But I have not.
Just a item on my list right now.
I seen someone did add a second battery.
I may wait till a battery goes dead in one of my other toys. Then I'll give it the OEM battery and the Pioneer will get a new upgrade.

Under the driver seat needs a skid plate and put a Optima. I worry about sticks I've already had one try to take out the gas tank.
