This MeLe Design 600 Series Battery Mount is a game - changer for your Subaru WRX (2008 - 2024) or STI (2008 - 2021). It's designed to hold a lightweight battery, cutting down the front - end weight of your vehicle and freeing up extra space in the engine bay for things like front mount intercooler piping.
The mount has been verified to fit batteries such as Odyssey PC680, XS Power D680, Full Throttle FT230, and Braille G20 Battery. It also works well with Cobb Flex Fuel Kit, Delicious Tuning Flex Fuel Kit, I Wire Fuel Pump Controller Kit, and PRL and the ETS Front Mount Intercooler.
Crafted from locally - sourced 5052 marine - grade aluminum, this battery mount is hand - formed, finished, and riveted at MeLe Design Firm in Portland, OR. It comes in two options: Raw Aluminum or Powdercoated Black. It's CNC machined, TIG welded, and track - tested. There's a built - in battery tie - down with a quick - release pin. Each mount has a unique serial number for quality control, and it includes all the necessary stainless - steel mounting hardware. Best of all, it's a direct fit with no drilling required.
Using this MeLe Design battery mount is a breeze. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected. Then, simply attach the mount to the appropriate spot in your engine bay using the provided stainless - steel mounting hardware. There's no need to drill, so it should fit right in. Next, place your compatible battery onto the mount and secure it with the built - in tie - down and quick - release pin.
When it comes to things to watch out for, always double - check that your battery is one of the approved models (Odyssey PC680, XS Power D680, etc.) to ensure a proper fit. Also, if you're using it along with other kits like the Cobb Flex Fuel Kit, make sure there's enough space in the engine bay.
For maintenance, you can clean the mount regularly with a mild soap and water solution. If it's the powdercoated black version, avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the coating. Keep an eye on the rivets and welds over time to make sure they stay in good condition. If you notice any issues, contact MeLe Design for assistance.
