Hey guys my RS2000 battrey is on my passanger floor ATM going to move to to boot soon but i was wondering if i can just buy a commodore battery and the right sized bits to go on the wire to connect to the battery? will it work fine? dont want to use a small battery cos my motor has had a bit of work done to it.

Don't think of batteries as ones for a certain vehicle, use the "CCA" rating, ask an auto electrician, he will be able to supply the correct cable, connectors and battery for not a lot more than the Auto parts store AND you will at least get the right info and parts

When the garage shifted the battery to the boot they (unknown to me) did it themselves and the cables are just not big enough it would have cost only a few $'s more to do it properly.
