What's that silver thing above and to the left of the battery under the cowl (last pic) - LV something? That's where my aux battery will end up (copying PaulF) but it's a low priority.

Anyone think about putting a battery in back to help with weight distribution? The talon is nose heavy and after a winch and in my case a plow mount I would prefer to keep it in back. maybe where the factory airbox used to be?

Talon is nose and slightly left heavy. Talon Race Team either added or moved theirs here if water/mud is not an issue for you...

good spot Paul! You are like Sherlock Holmes when it comes to pictures and videos!
If you are concerned about water/mud/dirt, you could also consider putting the battery in a box. I found the metal ammo cans at HF are water tight and fit like a glove between the engine and the suspension on the R. I use mine for tools but you might be able to fit an SLAA12-35C battery in there...

Very nice! I think I will be fine until I add a heater next year. Then I may be pushing the limits of the system plowing with heater on,heated seats, music, light bar, winch, and hydro turn all working when its cold out.
