Make sure it's LiFePO 4. I left out the Fe in my earlier post but thats what you want. With a smaller battery don't expect to sit with the engine off and listen to the radio.

Just an fyi for those who might want to do a relocation:  bmw and Mercedes cars often have rear mounted batteries with nice distro blocks and wiring that can be got for a few bucks from yards. 
 

i got one from an e36 for $5 for everythinf

Wow, not spending over $800 for a battery

There must be a recommendation from someone that is reasonably priced:

 

From Bosch (?) or someone mentioned a lawn & garden battery?

I got the cheapest lawn battery at Wally World.  I think $30.  Looking at that Bosch more looks like they are LiFeP04.

I used an Odyssey battery intended for a Goldwing in my racecars. Super light and under $200.

If you put a battery in the passenger compartment, a vented box may not be required but it's still a good idea. Battery fumes are no bueno.
