Battery placement

Ok thinking of putting my battery in the bed of my rzr so I don't have to cut any plastic under my driver seat and get a battery tray. What do y'all think I have the bed cover on my rzr so it's not like it would be seen.

I personally would not want a battery in my bed as the bed gets a lot of heat from the motor and plus you are loosing storage space too.

Im with Bobby on this one.

Storage on a RZR is at a premium. Also things could get to the battery and possibly get stabbed by a thick tree limb or something.
Also that would be bringing weight up vs low and that will add to making it top heavy.
If you put it under the seat, it is protected from the elements and also out of the way.

Thanks for the info...

well im letting my wife ride up in the passenger seat now so she isnt in the bed anymore. she was taking up a lot of room in the bed lol

Mayo , putting the battery in the bed would also take weight away from the bottom of the machine , make it more top heavy , sure its not like 50 lbs , but you are countering the weight of the battery tray and battery plus wiring by putting it up high , that is part of what makes the RZR work so well is its weight low to the ground. We already do that alot with the boxes , tops , people , personaly I would keep it as low as possible and find a battery to fit the hole .
