I've been using a wet cell motorcycle battery mounted to the front of the firewall in my KR for 15 years now. I seem to get 6 to 7 years per battery. Photo of battery configuration at <http://jscott.comlu.com/KR/new%20left.jpg>.

I was planning on mounting my battery to the firewall behind the engine, but the battery says to not heat it past 140 F. I am worried the temp may get to hot to mount it there. I could always insulate the box, but will add more weight. Any ideas or info would be great. Thanks, Derek Lewis KR-2 85%ish
