Americans hid fuel fillers, windshield wipers, and radio antennas. The Brits hid the batteries.
However the Crossfire is German so uses a proper 12v battery in a proper location. The Group Size is H6 and are available many places
Anymore I buy only AGM batteries. About a 50% cost premium for 3X the life.
ps anything that sits for more than a week (anything not in the front garage) has a $5 float charger on it. They always start right up, even the diesel.
you're telling me that it is normal to have problems with the SRT6 if the car is stopped in the garage for a week or more without a charger? the SRT6 is very sensitive to voltage drops?
