Battery Moving

[Scofo]

i know it is not needed with the types of mods i have done and are doing still, but i want to move my battery to my trunk.

my short ram rubs it, it lessens the space and airflow to my intake, hard to get tools to it. i have to take it out when i need to get somewhere else under my hood.

i am looking for a better way to do this than to just buy a kit from the net and end up not getting what i wanted. is there a better way? or a kit that has solid instructions?

I'm not sure what kind of instructions they come with, but they should come with good detailed ones.

i have always thought moving the battery to the truck was hard on your alt, but never found anything to back that up

[my99cavy]

^never heard that before

[Cavalier2000]

yea just kinda seemed that way to me but i have never found information backing that up nor proving me wrong, so hell i don't know

what do u mean your battery is in the way what kind of car u got? liek i got a z24 and i got a big ass battery ni mine (purple Haze X) to power my stereo and shit and it is like a damn truck battery lol and my intake is fine in it

i love pics show them up

ur right about it being a strain on the alternator.....they are only built to push the power a couple feet to the battery in the engine bay, not 6-7 feet back to the trunk. it puts a lot of strain on it to push 12v all that way. if u do decide to put ur battery in the trunk, but sure to get some big gauge cables, so they will carry more current and not put as much strain on the alternator.
