battery in boot?

[destinationtoby]

is there a thread of DIY battery relocation? if not , any chance someone could creat one plzz?

[Taz]

imho - unless you are skilled and confident - take it to an auto lekky and get them to do it professionally

I did mine with dad just make sure u have the right size gauged cable and a battery box bolted to the boot floor

4 or 0 gauge?

[Sahin]

0 is a bit overkill lol

You should get a dry cell battery if you have it in the trunk

Or a AGM battery.
But as long as the battery is a fully sealed unit it will be fine.
As for gauge I am running a 0 gauge on my one with a breaker fuse just after the battery.
I will dig up pics of it.

when i relocate the battery in the boot i run the wires that are in the engine bay for the battery to the starter motor then a wire from the starter motor to the boot easy as to do

I'll be having my battery on a battery tray bolted into the boot. I've got a 250amp ANL fuse and using 2 Guage wiring.

Just gotta get around to do it eventually..

same as what i had to do very simple job no need for auto sparky just make sure no place for it arc out and make sure fuse used as said must be ANL style other just wont hold the amps to be able to start

Why fuse it when the lines are already fused?

[vipfto]

To stop any short which may occur from body tracing back to battery. Car electrics 101

[payaya]

Guess its required for such a long run, but its not electrics 101 as cars aren't fused at the battery.

[vipfto]

Nope they are not but fuses are good idea in any wiring even if already fused. Esp direct to battery power e.g. amps or even alt wiring considering it's not fused either

[destinationtoby]

ok . fuses, 0 gauge wiring, battery box/bracket. would like to see a photo or two of the mount nd where to run the wiring thru.

I have looked for the pics I had but can not fined them .

Apart from the option to have a larger intake, what are the advantages to doing this?

[aza013]

Moves a little bit of weight from the front to the back .
