Customer Reviews
Rally Spec 1200 Series Battery Mount
I saw the battery mounts on Rob Dahm's YouTube channel, and thought it would be a good fit for a battery relocation to the trunk for my 2004 SRT-4. I found they had a Rally Spec Mount for the XS Power D1200 battery I had purchased. It looks so much better than the battery boxes from JEG's/Summits/etc. The fit is very snug and there is virtually no play at all with the battery once installed.
The mount itself looked very nice, with multiple mounting locations made it a breeze for deciding on where to place it.
Install was very easy, and was less than 10 minutes to install after deciding on the location/orientation, and prepping the area (cutting holes in the factory trunk carpet for the mounting points). I installed the mounting bracket using the supplied M6x1.0 rivnuts. It was super easy.. I would definitely recommend for anyone doing a battery relocation. I think it would even work for the guys who move their battery to inside the bumper cover in from of the drivers tire on the SRT-4.
In the pictures I took, it looks like the box is just resting on the carpet, but it is fully secured. I cleaned up the box after the pictures were taken, removing the dirt/debris on the outside of the box as shown.
I have a power distribution block mounted behind it (1/0 AWG in from alternator to 150amp fuse to battery >> 1/0 AWG from battery to dist. block >> 4 AWG dist. block to starter (no fuse) >> 4 AWG Stereo Amplifier (80amp fuse) >> 8 AWG to fuel pump (30amp) >> 4 AWG to main fuse box in engine bay (30 amp fuse) >> 1/0 AWG ground to chassis).)
First off the attention to detail on the battery box is outstanding. You can really tell a lot of care goes into every little detail. From recommending me a battery to fit my needs to helping with install question the customers service is top notch. I am so happy to have proper storage for my battery and know that it is secure and won't go sliding around will on the trail.
