Battery relocation Question

Siegedg505 · May 3rd, 2010, 11:06 AM

Where are you guys running the batter cables? Under the carpet? Near the frame rails?

mine goes under the carpet up to the firewall and then inside my fender to the starter solenoid

I ran mine outside through the spare tire compartment, and up away from the muffler and away from the SFC's, alot easier IMO to throw in 4 screws underneath than to pull up the carpet, and there was plenty of clearance around the mufflers and drive shaft, but I had just enough cable to do the job, would have saved at least a foot if I ran it inside

Siegedg505 · May 3rd, 2010, 03:53 PM

i google searched and found few other "crazies"

who ran it outside too, even a shop that did it too, but majority voted inside...

Uber88GT · May 3rd, 2010, 04:44 PM

I looked at the rear seats, poked around to see if I could feed the cable thought for about 2 minutes and said eff it....lazy, but the under car method worked just fine, well my fuel pump primed anyways and everything I tried worked, just waitng to fire it up for the first time now....

I did. Last thing I want is some big ass welding cable running through the inside of my car. Plus in a accident if one gets pinched or cut to where it grounds and things start melting and catching on fire the last thing I want that shit on fire inside the car.

thats why you install a fuse. hell even outside you should have a fuse on the lead cable

I'm pretty sure most people put a fuse to protect that from happening

I'm running a circuit breaker on mine too. One can never be to safe though. :-D

Also more prone to damage outside the car though.
