I need to relocate my battery out of the engine bay...my intake pipe is shorting out against the battery terminal. soo...where's a good place to relocate it to?

 

Hatch and or trunk area.
Using a good box is a must
Pretty simple to do and looks nice I'm sure a search will net you a good write up or two.

 

back. <FONT COLOR="red"> SEARCH </FONT> there are at least 100 threads about this.

You don't have to actually take it out of the bay, buy a smaller battery and lay it sideways or slide it down under the tray

Odyssey PC680 MJT and NRG cell

 

sweet batteries

 

....i'm gonna pick of of those up. BUT i'd still like to relocate it.

 

Move it to the trunk, remove your spare tire, and put your battery there. I helps if you have a sealed battery like the optima battery, that way you can lay it on it's side.

 

where can u get these batteries besides online?

advanced auto, NTB, autozone, walmart (kiddin) etc.

I've never seen them in a store, you could probably try a motorcycle supply or marine supply store. Its easier to just order them.

 

You can probably special order them through autzone. Not 100% sure but I would think so.

 

batteries are expensive , but either way its going to cost around the same price to either get a smaller battery or re route it to the back. for me, it was about $100 total for the intake piping, filter, battery box, wires, and the nodes that go on the battery terminals. if you put it in the back, a great spot for a ground is the spare tire spot where the bolt goes to hold the tire down, just sand the paint off and bolt a ground wire to it.

 

here's a suggestion simply turn your battery 180 degrees and make the power cable,gound and wire to fuse box longer . Workers perfect

 

heh...too much work involved....and i'd eventually take it out anyways. why not do it now?

 

does any one know if the odessey or nrg battery hold up good? i got a 1200.1 watt amp and a 850.4 kicker amp pushing my front and rears and my 2 solo abric 12's.. think it would hold up?

i did that and the positive touched the hood while i was driving and caught on fire lol...

 

summit makes an ok relocation kit... the only thing i dont like is the box... its really big...

and put it near the rear passenger wheel in the trunk, this will help out the car's weight distribution a bit...

and make sure you get a sealed battery, unless you want to kill yourself...

 

Ya I want do the same thing on my rex and wondering how hard it is to relocate and what do I need other than a sealed battery and box...cause I know at track they require a fuse or something but I will search unlike this 700 post noob lol

 

I relocated my Hawker battery into the rear storage compartment. Used a Stereo Amp Power kit (4 Gauge) to wire the battery up. No need for a box since the battery is a gel-sealed. I lay it down on it's side in the compartment.

Not where I got my battery but quick find for information: http://www.fmracing.com/prod012.html

 

There is a company that makes a kit that places the battery right behind the front bumper, where the stock air box is at. all you have to do is just extend your wires, and mount the tray.
