relocating the battery

[Jokr]

im in the process of relocating my battery to my bed and i was wondering where i can get new battery cables and how long would i need

[ScottXGTR]

any welding supply store or car audio place can supply you with the wire.

youll need around 25ft depending on where exactly youre putting your stuff.

for wire, minimum would be 4 gauge, 2 gauge is recommended, 1/0 is preferred if you plan to run lots of toys.

where would be the best place to run the ground to?

[ScottXGTR]

to the frame. your engine and body should be grounded to the frame as well. make sure all of those are good.

jimbo I used a double fuse holder and ran the starter wire to one and everything else to the other. 150 amp on starter and 100 on the other side. 100 on the starter popped after about a month, so I went to 150. hope this helps.

put a fuseblock in your factory battery location and hook all the wires to it like 91nissan94 suggested.

i would consider it a minimum. if you plan to run any large loads, i would step up to a larger size.
