whats the worst thing about a baterrry relocation kit?
and wich is the best one? thier are so many out thier
anything else i might need to go with one

 

I've been thinking about doing this as well. I guess if you use the correct gauge wire there would be no disadvantage. Can someone that has done this chime in with pros and possible cons. What gauge wire(s) did you use?

 

I heard of things about current flow, if you have a loud sound system that could be bad news. I also heard that you might want to think about a master cutoff switch, but I think that is supplied with those things. I don't know, but if it were me I wouldn't feel to safe with it. But if you make it work, and wire it up safe. I'm all for it.

 

I wouldn't be worried at all having a battery in the trunk instead of under the hood. A lot of newer cars are doing it and mercs. and beamers have been doing it for awhile....I think for it to be NHRA legal it has to have a cut-off switch and I don't think its supposed to be wet cell......maybe someone that has done it can chime in with what they used(as far as wire) and how well its been working. I've got some 1/0 gauge wire laying around in the garage that's off some nachi robots that I think would work just fine ......

 

ive been doing some searching and it doesnt seem like alot of people are doing it. but my battery tray is broke and instead of putting it back thier i was looking to getting it in the back.... my amps are back thier too so it would be better for my stereo.

 

True, it would be better for that, but what I heard was trouble with cranking current power and alt current. I think I heard it on a tv show, but that was the only cons I've heard of. I personally think it would be cool to see that, and if/when you do it, I'd like to see some pics of it!

 

What kind of battery are you using? What does your voltage gauge say when the car is idling? Thanks.

 

I've done it I used taylor 2 gauge optima red top and a BMR battery holder and it works great my car steers better also.

 

That's exactly what I wanted to hear
Anybody else have something good to say about battery relocation????

 

how does your car steer better

 

If your running a bunch of amps or any then just get a 1 farad capacitor.. I have a 2.4 farad on my tahoe and she never ever drops below 12.4 with three amps, 2 - 6x8's 4 - 6.5's 2 - 12's.. Starts great in the winter and everything, dash lights dim, but barely noticeable, at the end of a long friday night pounding through the streets, but head lights still don't fade a bit..

Just run some big wire and get a relocation kit, enjoy the extra space...

 

ok
so youve convinced me.... who has the most complete setup

 

Sealed box or non sealed box?

1 guage or 2?

 

Because of less weight on the passager side I could feel the difference.

 

do i need a sealed box?
if so who has the bast
who has the best non sealed box?

i would probably want 1 gauge or bigger wire
