Question: how many are running just one battery?

[ZeroGravity58]

Just like it says...how many are running just one big battery instead of two? After skimming through some threads it would be nice to use the spot on the driverside to mount some other things to. I have everything jammed in under the hood and i dont like the bracket flex-a-lite gives you with the fans to mount TCM. Its ugly and not very rigid. Whats this biggest battery you can squeeze on the pass side? or is there a better place to put the pass side battery? i dont want it in the bed...When i had my old dragtruck i ran a 1000 CA delco battery. i think are stock ones in our trucks are 700??

u can get the under bed miltary mount like wht all the twin guys use or at least nathan does with his kits. its a gm part as well

In warm climates, there is little advantage to twin batteries. But if you are in a cold climate, two are necessary.

Ok does this mount both batteries under the bed or just one? Also how cold? im in maryland so theres times its below freezing for alittle bit.

I guess that would be your choice. The shorter the cable is, the more juice it will deliver for starting.

I belive it just moves the Pass side bat

IMO below 40 degrees its hard on the engine to start with only one battery. This is just what I have seen on my own truck.

What is the GM part number? And is the battery enclosed or open to the elements? Thanks.

I run one battery
Small dimensions, light wieght and big cranking amps

I use 1 awg welding cable for the connection to the starter and then factory from there on

mounting underneath in a cold enviroment might not work to well, unless you use a battery blanket

i was looking on summit and they sell really nice sealed battery boxes but i dont want to put the batteries in the bed...I was just wondering if it was possible. If its that much of a hassle to delete/move a battery then piss on it i will work around it....
