My lead acid battery is a group 2e (the long skinny one.) I would like to put my 6V Optima in a fake group 2e case.

A friend told me about the fake plastic battery cases available in which to put Optima batteries so they look like a STANDARD BATTERY. I have not found such a case for the group 2e battery.

Does anyone know who (IF ANYONE) makes them for GROUP 2e BATTERY??

Dimensions GROUP 2E Length 19-1/4" Width 4-1/4" Height 9"

Robert, here is a far-fetched idea. Why not gut a 2E battery and leave it in place and hide the Optima battery somewhere close by? The Optima is small and could be placed in a space that is not readily visible. Lots of details to work out, but worth a consideration. JWL

I thought about hiding my 12volt battery and building a rack to hold at least 12 "D" cells and see how many I could get to believe it.
