im doing this to clear up room under the hood, can the oem acura battery handle being on its side or will it leak?

 

up

 

it will leak and may short out the plates inside it cause its a wet cell battery...buy a dry cell battery like an Optima or Holley then you can mount it anyway you want

 

thank you sure, that is exactly what i needed to hear, any good places to get one relatively inexpensive?

look at odyssey batterys, they are light as ****...I just picked up one for my audi, 22lbs - 105 bucks

 

would it work with a medium sized audio system

 

Depends on the reserve capacity your looking for...basically more reserve capacity means a bigger battery which means heavier. I beleive if you look at the odyssey batterys you'll find one that will meet your needs and still be lighter than stock.

Give these guys a call they are the authorized dealer in NJ - The guy that works there is really knowledgable about the batterys and what they can and cannot do, he can also recommend a size for you.
