I have a couple of questions.

Whats a "non-venting battery"?
Whats the battery kill switch for?

Overall, some nice battery relocations! Looks sick.

it's a drycell, so there's no fluid in it to leak

Moosecakes · 09-14-2009, 04:54 PM

here's mine, i haven't put the trunk carpet back in or ran the wires for my jumper terminals yet but here it is.
*forgive the wires that were extended... I made a stupid and didn't measure right so I ended up having to solder a bit extra, solder joints are perfect though, they flowed complete and all the way threw.*

The lid is coming I just have to clean up the inside welds so it will fit right and drill and tap the sides for the bolts to hold it in place, I really need to get a different battery. Hopefully this is safe for now lol

Regular lead acid battery releases hydrogen gas as it's being charged by the alternator, and that stuff can be deadly or explosive. Because of that, the battery casing cannot be completely sealed to allow for the gas to escape. When you move that type of battery inside your car, the gas will escape and stay inside your cabin and can ignite. You can put it in a box, put a cap on it and seal it tight, poke a hole and run a hose to the outside.

This is why drycell batteries are often used inside the car as they are considered sealed batteries and don't emit gas.

Linh. · 11-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Yep it can blow up like a bomb

Slopoke · 11-06-2009, 06:01 PM

Im building a bracket to mount my small battery under the rear bumper, but until I finish it, I have hit ghetto mounted in the hatch.

And yes, I used quarters for washers. lol

HatchVX · 11-09-2009, 10:23 PM

Here is my battery relocation. It will change up once i get my yellow top battery. It uses a 100 amp breaker, and a 200 amp cut off switch.

The only thing you see from the outside

92integraVTECgsr · 11-12-2009, 08:43 AM

What is the best gauge wire to use for the positive to relocate the battery to the trunk?
