Buddy of mine has an 90 Hatch and he put his on the passenger side over by the light. He used the Optima Red top since it is a sealed battery and no need to vent it outside and used a Summit ground strap. Make sure you put it on the passenger side for better weight balance in the car. He made a custom plate and welded it in to hold the battery, but you can also buy a battery tray and bolt it in.

Re: Best battery for relocation in a CRX? (CRX Toad)
yup i put it exactly like you said on the passanger side by the light.. i made my own bracket but i used self tapping screws.. works for me.
i used the stock battery, but idealy you want a sealed one.. like the Optima's.. or a dry cell battery.
Or just buy a sealed box and run the vent piping outside somewhere.. you WILL have to do this to be IHRA legal.. even with a sealed or dry cell i hear??
I've been running with it open.. hell i have the windows down90% of the time anyway.. or the sunroof cracked.. even if i don't just turn your a/c to refresh.. we only use 10% of our brain's anyway

Get the Odyssey drycell battery. It is very small but still has all the capacity and power. SCC uses them in a lot of their project cars, and I heard many people love them over the Optimas.

no, no, no. use a stinger battery. you can get the sp800 i think they call it. it has 800cca and is about half the size of your stock battery and shorter as well. mount it securely with a battery box. this will keep the gel inside the battery off of you if you ever get in an accident. oh yeah this battery is also very light weight and you can get it at just about any car audio store.

Drycell is definitly the way to go, This is the one I have:

The advantage of the Odyssey Battery is that is is both deep cycle and high cranking. Read all the specifications on the link. If you want to get the battery on the link for $115.00 shipped to your door, E-mail this guy:
odysseyworld@comcast.net
He is factory direct, To get that price the battery needs to be paid for by Paypal. Because there is no overhead the price is much cheaper.
