Battery for Breeze Box on Mk4?

[erik5oh]

I've installed a Breeze battery box for my Mk4 roadster build with a Coyote. I'm getting close to installing the engine. Can you recommend (or suggest) what kind of battery to get and where to get it? Thanks in advance!

Kindest Regards,

Erik

The Optima yellow top is a perfect fit

The Breeze front battery mount is designed for a Group 51 size battery. Coyote doesn't affect the choice. There are multiple options, but agree the Optima yellow top is an excellent choice. Just make sure to get the 8071-167 D51 version. It has the positive terminal on the proper side to not get close to the x-member. Several have had issues with inadvertent shorts with the 8073-167 D51R version or other group 51 batteries with a similar configuration.

Thank you for the replies and suggestions. A battery has been ordered (the Optima edwardb suggested). I can't wait to give this thing a try, it's gonna be great!
