yer

my car didnt have one either damit

Try a wreckers. If you have no joy buy a new one from Mitsubishi. They are held on by 4 of those little 'push pin' type clips. (you can actually see one on the bottom of the picture, the the other seems to be missing and two you cant see because they live inside the cover)

not really - it just slips over the battery and is held in by a clip..

ill have a dig around for my original one, i *dont* think i have it anymore, but ill have a look for it.

its only a very simple plastic cover, but very effective in cleaning up the engine bay :D

appreciate it booya. yeh ur right it just makes it look alot cleaner and wat not doesnt it.

Plus it gives you a place to stick your K&N sticker ;) lol yeah, look mine was busted accidently by a panel shop guy and they got me a new one from mitsu... they must be easy to buy... though I am not going to try to guess the price.

You can get them through your local parts department but they were insanely expensive last time i checked which was a while ago. Can't remember what the price was but I didn't place an order, instead pulled one out of me TE before I sold it.

Still worth a phone call to your local dealers parts dept.

hahahhahahaha. i hope you discounted it - man, that owner will be hell ripped when he finds out he was ment to have a battery cover lol - if it was me, id demand a refund!! lol

hahaha yeah man u better make sure he's not apart of this club or he's gonna have ur nuts, hahaha

Ive got one lying around and im too lazy to put it back on.

At least until my parents tell me to do something with it then ill put it back in :D

U can usually get them from wreckers, thats where i got my cupholders :D

I've got one that i probably won't need as I have put the battery in the boot.
In perfect condition as well

i did have one that i was selling and it was at mals house i was supposed to get back but i was too lazy lol now i guess its in s.a lol

Weren't the battery boxes removed from the TJ magna's because they caused the batteries to prematurely fail due to overheating?

i would like to know the answer to that too
Would it also effect the TE/TF/TH

is there any truth to it.

From what ive been told, they were originally designed to keep hot air away from the battery, but the hot air just goes underneath and gets stuck in there, so they dont work properly. It make's sense in my eyes.

i never had a problem with it while it was there :think:

I haven't had a drama, but I have this whoopee doo heat resisitant super heavy duty battery, but I never really thought about this before... I suppose if you were concerned you could drill a couple of discreet holes in the box to let the hot air out.

I would say it is more like cost cutting with the TJ onwards more than anything else.

Those battery covers are fairly well sealed considering.

Definitely they can be a problem - I remember reading on another auto mechanic website about 18 months ago (can't remember the link now) that battery covers can cook the battery on hot days. I assumed that's why the TJ didn't come with one.

I took the cover out of my old TH, and I notice the Ralliart didn't have one fitted at all.
