Re: Battery Suggestions
The extra posts are pretty handy for hooking up things in a Jeep. We
tend to have extra lights, winches, CB's, etc. and the stock wiring is
too small to handle the extra load so a direct battery connection is
best.
If you are running a winch I think you have to get the extra posts on
the top, not the side ones. I think I read here that the side terminals
weren't internally big enough for a winch draw.

Re: Battery Suggestions
Sitting in the same box as a petrol isn't too clever if you think about it.
Petrol vapour can ignite from 40 feet away.
