1g battery in 2g?

[jeremylee_7]

Hi, I have 6 bolt in a 2g project car I am basically finished with it except the stock battery went crap on me, i have a basically new 1g battery sitting in my garage.

My question is if there would be any issues/instability if I just bought a new terminal ring and hooked the top and side posts together so that I can use the 1g battery in the 2g?

Thanks in advance.

They make adapters for that, it's not an issue, use it.

My 1g battery fit fine in my 2g

ok thanks for the info guys.

Just wanted to make sure that merging the side post from the fuses with the top post wires wasn't going to cause problems.

I'll never understand why the automotive world needs more than a half-dozen battery sizes. 12V is 12V. CCA matters when you're starting a frozen car in the Arctic.

some of us do have to start our frozen cars in the arctic

Oh, I've been there- as far north as Valdez in January. I just didn't stay there.

I never lived as far north as you guys (lived in denver and in kansas), i hate the cold, must be why i live 1300 miles away now in SW arizona.

And Defiant, things would be too affordable and convenient if the auto industry used standardized parts. Hell i would just be happy if the replacement bolts i get from the hardware matched the stock mitsu size instead of having 13mm heads!
