Battery Relocation

hguzman90 · Jan 6, 2013

sooo.. i was bored today, and decided to make a battery relocation diagram and how i routed my wires and stuff , people ask me how it was done so i made this for reference, check it out

All wires are inside of the car.

D-Block i used, i like it because it shows how how many volts is going through .

I like it, except I'd use heavier wire all around. 0 gauge at a minimum for the main power and ground, and at least 4 gauge to both the starter and OE fuse box. And that top plate over the battery scares me. What is your battery holder secured to?

I'll probably take a look at it when I do it in the future.

I'm guessing the top plate is plastic at least that's how it looks to me! Nice diagram though very helpful! I would also use 0 & 4 gauge as well..

The top plate looks billet to me, unless it's just chromed plastic. Even though it looks like it was made for that red top, I wouldn't want my terminals that close to it.

Agreed! I also assumed it was plastic cuz from the pic I also think it looks like both terminals are touching it... Which we all know would cause major sparks and prob fire!

Yea the battery holder is aluminum . The bottom plate is bolted down the chassis and the top plate has links that connect the top plate to hold the battery , yea if it touches it will spark but my battery terminals wont go all the way Down so it doesn't touch , and if it does which there is a small possibility , that's why there is a fuse close by , bought the bracket from a shop that custom makes them specifically for that battery , as hard as I drive the car I'm surprised it deff holds the batt down and the terminals don't move
