General Battery and Mounting Bracket Install Guide

Please note that while the Odyssey 680 battery install is shown in the pictorial below, ALL the Dali battery mounting brackets install the same way in the same area on the car.

Step 1: What you need

1/8 & 5/32 Allen, 10mm socket, 1/4 Drill, and of course the battery and mount

Step 2:
Admire your front compartment, now start taking the sh%@ out.

Step 3:
Spare tire removed, now take out the spare tire bracket.

Step 4:
This is a close-up of the bracket you need to take out to get to the OEM battery.
So why are we still looking at it?

Step 5:
Heavy temple of doom old battery revealed, don't look right at it.

Step 6:
Take out the old battery using a 10mm deep socket.

Step 7:
Undo the battery cables.

Step 8:
Clean off the battery cable connectors.

Step 9:
Position new mount and mark holes you are going to drill.

Step 10:
Drill Away!

Step 11:
OK, this is the really fun part. You will need to be either very flexible or have the car up on a lift or jack stands in order to tighten the SS allen bolts, washers and lock nuts provided. The problem is that you can reach all the heads of the bolts but not all the nuts - we got this far and then ended up jacking up the car and stuck a second person under there to tighten the lock nuts while person #1 held the allen heads from turning.

Step 12:
Mounted battery installed

Step 13:
Admire your handi-work.

OEM Battery + Battery Box + Brackets = 34lbs
Odyssey 680 + Mount = 14lbs

Your Car has just "gained" 2HP.

Please see the dragon master for more details.
