So I need a new battery for the VL. Car is still in the build, but I want to be able to start it! Battery has been relocated to the boot. Engine is an RB25DET. Modest stereo setup - 2 amps, 6x9s, sub and 6 inch splits. Do you need a sealed battery for a boot setup? Just wondering what brands people have had good experiences with. Cheers.

generally you get what you pay for i have found,but a sealed battery might be a good idea in the boot, check up on the rules on that one

i dont have a sealed battery n the boot,only need 1 if its in a waggon i think, optima are really really good,but you pay for it lol http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-216881855.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Batteries-chargers/auction-216881855.htm)

I use Bosch Gold. about 530cca, expensive though.

Optima Red Top. I had the Yellow top which was awesome, but expensive

exide or century been good

optima yellow top ftw

cheers guys. I was thinking about the Optima range as I've only heard good things about em. Expensive, but I've learned the hard way that you get what ya pay for! Thankfully my bro works in the parts trade!

If placed in the boot you will have to have a battery case(no exposed termanals)

yeah, the setup is already done, have a custom stainless steel mounting plate, and a battery box. Gonna go for an Optima yellow top - gotta love repco mates rates Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
