Morning guys!
Has any one used a side post battery in their bump? ...know of any reason not to use one.

Thanks
Ron

not a fan of the small 5/15 head to secure the terminals they always get damaged it seems like then before you know it vise grips. contact area is kinda tricky, gotta make sure the lead in the cable end is making flush contact with the battery lead surface area. but besides that.......its just another way of doing the same thing. cant hurt nothing.

I was thinking more for looks but you have some very valid points.

Thanks Hiboy!

I really dislike the side posts fought them many times on junk GM box vans in the shop. Just my

but stick to the old classic group 24 or if you want the big amps grab the group 27.
