Each one is about 100 pounds. One armed bench press for exercise. :ha:

100... i weighed them, they're closer to 140. that slide set up would work too. why didn't i think of that... but i don't know if i like all that weight riding on a pin....

I just did a Google search for 4D battery weight, 100 was popular.

do a pin setup like the ones for reese hitches :humm:

yea you could use the slides used for keyboards on a computer desk, and have it fabbed up to hold it with a pin, of course youll have to let it down easy... im sure with a little ingenuity and a few 6 packs you can get the bastard fixed to be easier to get in or out. or instead of a pin use a master lock so people wont steal them damn $500 batteries so easy

well for now they're doing good. if i have to acess them on a regular basis i'll modify the boxes.

Get a set of these:

Mount them to a plate under the hood. Then run battery cable between the positve and the starter, and the negative to the frame/block.

That's halfway what I'm looking for! do they make them with a longer stud?

RAW 01-26-2013 05:43 PM

I'm not sure, but would imagine so. I just grabbed that picture off Goggle for example.

I'll check into those. See if S&W carries something similar.
