How much for the kit without the battery?
Much neater than the mounting I did myself.
Since the battery is less than $100, the $239 price is a bit steep...??

Thanks,
Joel

Looks to be trick.

I think you would be better of moving the stock battery over the RR.

Description looks good to me.

Question, what is the difference between stock number 880-0008 and 880-0027?

Thanks, Perry

Okay, maybe my first question was not understood.

You show two different part numbers for this C5 battery kit. They are 880-0008 and 880-0027.

What is the difference in the products that have these different numbers? Are they different colors, different sizes?

Thanks, Perry

Looks like a very well made product. But make sure your cables are long enough to reach the terminals. I installed the same battery in my '00 coupe and fabbed a mount with the battery on its side because the cables wouldn't reach with it upright.

Yup. Every one of our products gets extensive testing first, to make sure that it actually fits.

The 1G Neon prototype ran into exactly this problem. The original design had the battery centered in the tray, but then the cables wouldn't reach. The production version has the battery slightly offset in its mount to ensure the cables reach.
