I have the one from Elite SXS Engineering. They all copied each other so all pretty much the same thing.

It's under the hood, you'll never see it.

Because another poster was concerned about heat damage to the battery sitting right behind the radiator, he put his under the hood cowling behind the plastic firewall, I'm going to follow his lead eventually.

That was probably me. 40+ years of mechanics and knowing that heat is a batteries worse enemy tell me a battery behind a hot radiator is not going to last very long. I put the battery behind an insulated firewall I built. Details in this thread starting here...

I thought it was probably you but didn't want to name drop if I was remembering incorrectly. Thanks for the follow up and link. 👍

Im just going to say that battery will never get hot enough from the radiator to be any worse than most cars / trucks.

FFS it’s open to the air on the sides.

Not to mention mud, water etc.
