Battery in the Trunk

[n2ojunkie]

you shouldnt have any charging problems rom moving the bat to the trunk if you do it correctly. ok first you need to use a min of 2 gage cable. 0 gage is beter. you dont need to run a ground from the bat all the way to the front of the car. that just dumb. you do need to run a good ground cable from the bat to the body of the car. the best way to do that is to have a bolt welded to the body in the trunk. then you have to put a ground cable from the block to the body in the engine compartment. a welded bolt works really well hear. a muffler shop sould be able to weld these for you for really cheap. now if you goto nhra sanctioned tracks then you need a nhra approved bat box. if not then you just need to make shrue the bat if firmly secured to the floor of the trunk.
