Default AMS vs Buschur mini battery

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience with either of the following mini batteries?

AMS:
http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...ttery-Kit.html

Buschur:
https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...oducts_id=1305

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thankfully there is indoor parking at my current long-term client, so the need for a full-size battery with lots of cold cranking amps for chilly days isn't an issue for me any more

just ask them for the kits seperately without the battery. the batteries in either kits are so overpriced, and they're nothing special compared to one from a normal battery store

I used one of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...N-SK-BT20.html. I installed it in the stock location just on its side without the tray. Im not going to take credit for it. Chi-town originally did it and I just copied him and it works great.

Fixed RalliMark's link.

If you want to run a small battery, buy the kit minus the battery, save yourself money. Then buy the battery separately. The reason why AMS and Buschur's kits are overpriced is convenience, you're getting both items in one package, and most people like convenience. So you pay a premium for it.

Thanks for fixing the link Bravo, much appreciated.

Does anyone have an engine bay pic of a RA with a mini battery?

Not sure if you'll find one here, but I have seen pics of them before. Maybe EvoM.

I have the AMS small batt kit, I have had no problems at all, but I am gonna probably relocate mine to the trunk to open up room for different intake options. All in all though it is a great kit.
