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.

love it!

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