Anyone relocate their battery?

Have any of you relocated your battery? If so did you buy a kit or just buy stuff seperately? If seperately were did you get it and what guage cable did you use?

I think most people just end up making their own kit. Most recommend 0-1ga. wire, which can be bought at almost any welding shop.

I'll take some pics of mine when I get a chance. I put mine in the rear cargo compartment under my sub box. I had to put it the middle because of the sub placement.

I have the bose system and my air compressor for my air bags is under that. My nitrous bottle is on the top deck close to the rear seats and i kinda want to keep use of t top rack.I think my only option is the spare tire well. I'll see what pics I can see then go from there.

Re: Anyone relocate their battery?

I was contemplating putting my battery in the spare tire well. I also think I could have squeezed the battery in there too but when I went supercharged I took out the bottle so I didn't have to engineer that.

What did you do as far as kill switch placement?

There are a ton of guys who have relocated their batteries to the spare tire well...do a search in here or in lt1 tech discussion and you will find info for sure..

What's a kill switch?

Don't have one. Why would there be an need for one since stock setup doesn't have one?

For track regulations...if you relocate your battery to the trunk, your required to run a kill switch to kill the battery in case of an accident..

Oh. Around here, track regs aren't enforced. We don't have to pass spec or anything. Not the best idea but that is how it is. I don't like the idea of cutting a hole in my rear bumper anyway for a switch.

Re: Anyone relocate their battery?

A friend of mine has a push pull switch that comes out in the license plate area. He just had to notch the plate slightly and looks real good.
