With a little modification, would it be possible to fit a regular 12volt battery from a car into the battery compartment or is the space too small?

Nope. No way. You could probably do it in the bed area but would add significant weight to rear of vehicle. You won't get car battery in front of gator with any amount of modification.

Not only is the space to small, the added weight would hinder the stability of the vehicle (too much front end weight).

I think the space is too small and for the weight of the people it holds, a car battery seems a bit much

Yes..... I guess if you had an 12VDC to 110VAC inverter and a car battery....

The u shape allows any size battery to be attached. If it had a back plate it'd get in the way. So yeah

It has to be the same size to fit in the compartment. I called the customer service and let me trnsfer to their teck department before I purchaed the replacement battery. I asked the dimention. Size of the battery.

Ya I think it would be fine. You might want to put a battery spacer in there see the battery doesn't move back and forth, but other than that you should be good!

the battery fits into a slot in the chassis that is sized for a 6 cell battery. 7 cell could fit, but you would have to make new battery holders for the battery. only if there is clearance between the body and the battery ends. the battery sits crosswise in the chassis.

you can..... BUT it requires some creative and aesthetically destructive modifications unfortunately.. I originally used Velcro to hold a higher capacity battery on the bottom and then modded the power coupling to fit. the weight of unnecessary weight of the included battery being unused led me to take apart the cockpit which worked except the whole thing looked really ghetto unfortunately.. I don't see an easy and aesthetically pleasing way to do what I did either..

It is the size for a large semi truck or a marine size battery, it's too big for a regular car battery.

yes, it will fit under standard battery cover and will make little bulged ( maybe 1 mm or 2 mm)

If used for a small 12 volt battery, it will not over charge the battery in any way. It is ideally suited for a small battery.

Not sure. If you can isolate a 12v wire to the battery and switch it that would be better.

No, you need something specifically designed for that. Look under car starting battery or charger

You probably can but I doubt you would have room for both batteries. I have never tried it and never would.

No, it's not enough space in the hand guard battery compartment for this battery.

Yes, but I wouldn't buy it for that. I Bought one for that exact reason. Problem is the battery get eaten up too quick. I had one in my car for about a week and the battery went dead. Then I had all sorts of problems getting it open with the backup 9v battery. The safe is currently sitting on a desk collecting dust.

i suppose you could. but i wouldn't. i located it up under the hood near the battery box.

It's designed to work from the 12V ports. If you have a port that connects directly to the battery (one that's on all the time it's the preferred one) otherwise you can use the port that you have available. You can't enclose it there has to be air circulation around it.
