Creative ways you hid your battery

[61_FL_Apache]

I currently have my battery in the bed of my truck in a plastic boat battery style box. It works, but I would like to conceal it more creatively.

The two ideas I like the best is a small cooler or old metal tool box.

Show me what you guys have done.

Not on topic, but I have a plastic gas can held by a bungee as a gas tank. Someone refereed to it as my WalMart fuel cell. But, a nondescript vintage gas can would make a good hidden battery box.

My battery currently is in the area in front of the wheelwell. What ever I use should be able to fit there.

Here is a pic of it when I was putting the floor back in.

Maybe it's just me but I don't mind the battery under the hood. Is it for theft reasons? I purposely left mine under the hood even though I had the opportunity to move it. I wanted a clean bed floor and did not want a door, nor did I want to crawl on the ground to jump start the truck. Just my opinion though

I moved it to clean up the engine area. I originally put it under the floor in the same area, but I did worry about accessing it if needing to get to it. then I decided to move it in the bed.

I relocated mine to the outside of the passenger side frame rail, under the front of the bed.
I ran a cable to a remote lug mounted on the passenger frame rail under the hood for boosting purposes.
It cleaned up under the hood.
I also added a second horn in the area the battery used to sit.

I was going to mount mine under the bed right behind the cab on the frame. I will probably make an access door in the bed to access the battery if need be. I also cut the indent of the old battery box out of my inner fender and made it look like the other side.

I also put my battery behind the cab under the bed with a drop down box. Not real creative since you can buy them, but it works great.
And it definitely cleans up the engine compartment

Not real creative on my part...I used a left over NHRA-approved battery box and fabricated a battery tray for the passenger rear part of the frame to fit under the bed...
