P1000 Hold down for 2nd battery??

[elarson6772]

I’m ordering everything for the addition of the second battery and all the typical other additions that go with it when I take delivery of my 1000-6 next week. The only thing I haven’t found referenced is what everyone is using for a hold down for the new second battery?

Thanks in advance!

I used some old foam pieces I had laying around… nothing permanent… has held up so far…

Another welcome from Michigan. I've posted mine three times on the forums (two times too many, I suppose):

P1000 - How do you secure the second battery?

I have a 2022 P1000-5 and I'm going to add a second battery but not sure how to secure it. Any thoughts? Also, does any know the size of the battery wires used in the kit? I'm going to have to make some custom ones to fit my situation I think. Thanks in advance.

P1000m5 - What did you add to/do with your Pioneer 1000 5 today?

Started looking at my rear winch mounting location. I couldn't visualize a bolt in solution today but I can visualize a more permanent welded on mount above the hitch.

Does this qualify as the fourth time?

Welcome from right here. Just remember, we're all here 'cause we're not all there.

Gravity will hold your battery down, until such time as down is up. Then, if all you've been depending on is gravity, the battery could shift its position, possibly shorting on something in the process, and thus provide a handy source ignition for the fire you just started. There's reason car batteries are secured well - they sometimes go upside down too.

I used webbing and a plastic buckle. Works pretty well and is easy.

Hope not. I'm almost at my limit of counting toes to keep track ... 😄

Take off your wooly mittens and you should be able to count to 20.

It's a very snug cavity. I won't enjoy having to pull it out.

This thread has pegged this old man's excitement meter for this evening.

I wedged in some Styrofoam and it holds it in place very well.
