I've just started my conversion over to 12V system on my 54 3600. I was wondering what some of you have done for your 12V battery. Relocated to firewall? somewhere else? What type and supplier did you use for your battery tray?

There is nothing wrong with the stock location. The 6V cables are heavier than you need for 12V but you can still use them.

I wan't sure if the existing tray was large enough. I have seen some relocate them so they didn't have to go through the floor to access.

I got the 24 size battery which fits fine in the stock tray, just a little tight getting it in there. There are smaller batteries which would work even better.
