Any warnings before drilling pilot holes for the new battery tray for the cranking battery?
Own a 2017 520C. Thanks to help here upgraded my dealer cranking battery from a Interstate 27 to a 31 X2 AGM. The battery tray was for a 27, so I've purchased a 31 size to fit the new battery.
The batteries sit on a flat, but I have no idea what is under the flat, and I can't see under there to confirm. Gas tank? Something vital? The dealer holes don't align, so I will need to drill new ones. I plan to silicone the old holes and use a little silicone as well when hand tightening the screws.
Before doing an "easy" install and drilling pilot holes, I wanted to make sure I didn't make a BIG problem but accidentally putting a hole in something that never should have a hole. Any and all advice / warnings / tips or a simple green light welcome. Any danger areas on the battery flats? Thanks!
