FS: Pelfreybilt Battery Cage & Diehard 31M Battery (VIRGINIA)

Didn’t need a new battery until now...

 

Which one did you go with? I just got the optima blue top 31m.

 

An X2 Power 31M from Batteries+. It’s a rebranded Northstar/Odyssey/etc.

I ended up doing dual batteries in the bed, just too tight behind the seat to safely mount with pre-fabbed battery cages. Some folks used straps, but that is not safe IMO.

Yep! haha hell I sold this truck over a year ago now.

 

I appreciate the info, especially since you sold the truck so long ago.
I like the idea of the side by side batteries under the hood. Is there a downside to doing it that way?

 

Just the extra weight on that side. Batteries aren't light.

 

yeah, the setup looks very heavy for one side.
Thought I might have read something about it breaking some metal to but not sure...

 

I have as well, but didn't want to say so without a source. That's why I just went with the same setup OP was selling, of a 31m battery and cage.
