Vtisgilman Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Has anyone relocated their battery into the boot? If so how did you do it and what parts did you use? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 You can buy universal battery trays from eBay. Use some good thick cable. 25mm2 at least to get to the fuse box and run through the car. You will also need to fit a fuse and an isolator next to the battery. You don't want a long run of unfused cable running through your car. You can connect battery negative anywhere on the chassis. So literally next to where ever mount the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtisgilman Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Does it have to be fused? The battery is being mounted where the passenger seat used to be and will run straight to a battery isolation kill switch. Then through the fire wall. So wire length won't be very long. Is 40mm2 over kill or does it not hurt it to go bigger than needed? Also once through into the engine bay am I just connecting it straight to the wire that went on the positive battery post?

KiNK43 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 If its short fair enough. But think worst case. You want a fuse at the earliest point Else if in a crash or if live shorts to ground for any other reason. That cable will carry massive current. Biggers fine. Use quality lugs suitable for the current aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
