Odyysey battery install

[hillclimb_clio]

Has anybody installed a PC680 or similar battery in the original battery location?
My car has the kids scrambling in & out & dogs in the boot so don't want to re-locate it, just wondered if it's easy enough to fit with a cage or something in the original position?
Apart from the weight saving it should allow the Espace V6 airbox a little more room - it's a bit tight at the moment!

It would't be to hard to make a mount up using the original battery tray/engine mount metal.

A few people have mounted it to the ECU brace that runs down from the ECU to behind the headlight.

Thanks Christopher, don't suppose anybody has any pics of installs to give me an idea do they?

Seen someone attach the battery cage to the ECU bracket that attaches to the front of the car.

Wonder if that would satisfy the scrutineers at a hillclimb, that brace isn't very substantial is it?

Anybody?

fit it flat where the original battery was with an alloy cage, leave standard ecu in place, connect cables into fuse box and battery lead.
Have a look for my old sprint car thread there may be a picture there.

Thanks, the only thread I could find didn't have under bonnet pics sadly. I'm hillclimbing this weekend so won't have chance to take a look, will take the battery out after that & see if it makes sense to me.
I take it removing the battery won't cause any issues on these?
