i want to relocate my battery to the trunk. are there any good write ups on how to do this? and are there any downsides to this?
thanx for your help

 

Search the internet...it's easy to find a kit for around 50$ or so....

Basically, you just have to remove your old battery, mount the battery mount that comes with the kit in the trunk or wherever, run the red power wire that comes with the kit to the engine bay(through firewall, under car, under fenders, etc.).

Then, you have to connect the power wire from the fuse box(already attached to your battery positive), and the power wire from the starter, to the wire from the battery in the trunk...I bought a special connector box from a stereo place and it looks real nice and there is MINIMAL wires showing, very clean....

Then chunk the old battery mount in the trash and ground the battery negative cable to frame(sand off the paint to get a good connection)....and there ya go

 

Oh, and don't forget to ground the transmission to the frame. That's what your old battery negative cable was.....

 

search under my name (RAB) in the archieves and you'll find something.
