Just hoping someone else has installed a Deka ETX18L in their S550 and knows the best method for hold down. The Deka battery does not have the indent along the bottom to work with the factory mount. I started trying to rig something up with a hold down made for a regular battery but found my self making it really hokey. I don't want to wedge in wood blocks or foam or any bs like that. I would like to find a hold down with tray that will not weigh very much (obviously since that will defeat the purpose of the bat in the first place) but look and fit like its supposed to be there. The dimensions of the battery are 8.12 long, 3.56 deep, and 6.37 tall. I have been searching other threads and around the internet and haven't found anything yet. A couple custom motorcycle battery hold downs might work but are made from welded metal and I'm sure they will weigh enough to eat up a good bit of weight savings. Starting to think this was a bad idea. 18lbs for all this trouble.:frusty:
