My car came with the battery in the hatch and not much room in the engine compartment with the 1G pieces. I built my own tray out of aluminum angle. While researching I found that a universal boat battery tray might work for different applications, just not mine.

I have seen a few Civic size batteries placed with custom mounts in the location the Eclipse uses. It would need to be custom whatever you do. EDIT: As I was writing this ^ attached the pictures lol. |

I run a Miata MX5 battery; it's tiny. I made a custom tray much like the one pictured above. |

I have a Miata battery laying down in the spare tire well in the trunk. I bought a universal battery tie-down setup at the parts store to bolt it down. It lays so flat that I can put the OEM cardboard and carpet down on top of it, and it looks completely normal. |

I'm bumping this one up.of aluminum angle. While researching I found that a universal boat battery tray might work for different applications, just not mine. Anyone know the original application for the battery in the pics above?? Or a size? The hawker/genesis 16ep in the car will not cut it this winter. Thanks! |
