That said, it works great, starts the car, runs the car, weighs very little, and is easy to mount almost anywhere. I just don't use it in the winter, rather during track season, and in warm weather, it's just fine.

As far as mounting, you can buy aluminum brackets (enclosed box) made specifically for this battery that makes installation convenient. I would NOT want anything mounted anywhere in the passenger area just strapped down. You certainly don't want it becoming a projectile in case of accident. Even at 15lbs it would be a missile.

The whole point of this PC680 battery is to loose maximum weight, not just move similar to normal battery weight somewhere else. Losing vehicle weight is a battle of accrual. A lb here, ounces there, etc., and this is a major win...because 20lb is hard to come by in this game.
