Topic: CRX battery question
I have a CRX and a powermaster 3100 battery, I was wondering how the heck you fit it under the hood, its no bigger than an NSB90 or a Hawker 2100 and I know people have those under there but I can't seem to figure out the geometry of how to fit this battery under the hood while still being able to close the hood lol. Pictures would also be helpful my e-mail is newdeal_99@hotmail.com if you want to send pics

does taking out the battery tray help? It looks like its just there to help support the battery and it would sit in what appears to be the transmission mount even if the battery tray wasn't there

I heard you need to remove the high beam? Do you need to cut or hammer anything to get it down?

What Alan said. AC lines or not, factory radiator or not, it will fit that way.

I used a hammer on the very first battery install back in the day. But there was no need for it with the new battery.Team KICKER Incriminator Audio Riot Squad Powermaster FloridaSPL.com 2007 IASCA Stock Pro 1 World Champion

An NSB90 will fit in standing upright(posts on top). So will a few other batteries. If a Batcap can be installed neatly, nearly anything will fit. I'll post some pics of my Batcap install, maybe it will inspire. The battery tray is still in the car even with the Batcap.
