Battery Relocation to Boot

[Laine_16v]

What Cable did you use? Is a single ground point to the rear seat anchor sufficient (as i see this is common place for people who do this conversion), seems a little

What AWG size? What mm2 size e.t.c? Thanks for any pics/advice e.t.c

Also interested... After my share of research I found out that people use BMW 5 or 7 series cables (original battery location is in the boot... or so I heard).

Also pics of grounding and cable routing would be nice if anyone has any?

I used fusion 4 gauge power wire for the posative. Had the negative earthed to the rear left seat belt hole. The front of the car i just earthed the negative to were the original battery earth was. The only problem i have is that sometime the car does not start if i make a short journey. It sounds as if i am not getting enough amps. I think i am going to run another earth all of the way through the car.

Hmm i plan to run both a positive and negative to the bay, i dont like the idea of single main earth to a seat anchro point. Just interested in what size cable, as i wouldnt want to underestiamte that either.

4AWG good then?

or for the pikey route....i used a 25mm2 house tail for the live and an old 16mm2 house tail for the neg which i put a crimp on and anchored it to the seat bolt. the live can be run nicely in the cable clips down the side of the door...but mine is stripped.

8) love it! :lol:

I ended up buying 25mm2 cable, got 10 metres of it for £25 posted 8)
