Exclamation H3 Dual Battery Mount

Hello Everyone --

After installing my Winch recently, I've finally decided to do the Dual Battery Setup. Can someone tell me which mount is best for the 2009 Alpha? So far I found the one from Artec Industries.

Artec Industries Group 34 Back to Back Optima Battery Mount

Thanks in Advance Folks!

i made a cardboard pattern, had a metal shop cut it and bend short lips on two sides. i set it in and added a batt fed with a diode and fuse so its isolated. keep a short jumper to jump the diode if needed.
zero trouble,3 years. mine just sits there. if you plan on rolling over you can bolt it all together!.
i also added a light i can clip on for night work.

I DON'T KNOW, I WOULD JUST MAKE MY OWN. (sorry for shouting) (well, not really) If you have searched and can only find one kit, then maybe that's all there is?

I had a custom one built, not sure what you can buy one for, I think I ended up about $400 into the one for my H3t. I could probably get one for you. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would!
