I bought the battery from Jegs. You have to fabricate a bracket. The details of the bracket to attach the battery is in this thread:

Thank you for the info.

 

if you want an easy install the odysey battery with the rennline mounting kit is the way to go.

as others have said, the battery will go dead if you do not drive the car for a week or two. cant be problematic.. imagine having to park at an airport for example!

 

he bought a ebwerks battery bracket and revised it to make it work for his Deka battery . Unfortunately we don't have any left. Just gave away the last one to a gt3 owner.

 

I used the cross bar from Enrique's odyssey bracket I had sitting in my parts bin. For a couple of dollars however, you can buy 1/4"x3/4" aluminum stock from any Ace hardware and cut it to the exact length needed. Just drill a hole on each end and secure with 8" bolts and T-nuts that can also be purchased from Ace. Total investment of about $10 and an hours worth of work. Works good, lasts a long time... . I've also seen guys make a couple of slits in the OEM battery tray and use a small ratcheting strap to cinch the battery down. There are many ways to skin a cat but the bracket/bolt/t-nut method is the most "OEM" looking..

 

When I had my turbo, and I was on an extreme weight loss kick, I used a Deka as well, but a much smaller one...ETX14, basically a motorcycle battery..11 or 12 lbs...worked great, except at night...HID lighting would actually dim as well as interior stuff...probably best to carry a few extra pounds for the reliability...Kept it on a battery tender ANY time it was parked at home. Oh, and if you leave your doors or hood open for more than a few minutes...dead battery.....

 

Found a pic...made my own bracket too...put my car key on top for reference...My stock battery was 48 lbs as I recall...so saved 37lbs...
