[Rob.]

Just going to say any one looking/needing to fit a 2nd battery in a mk1 clio DO IT its so easy

It fits nicly next to the old battery if you move that one along abit

 

[Dink]

where's that - goinng to off your 2nd batt?

 

[Rob.]

Thats going to the body work ?? is this wrong :'(? ( as earth )

also couple of questions mate
4awg wire how many MM Wide is it ? 9?
what amp fuse shall i use on the 4awg power wire from battery to battery

 

[kpowell911]

id use a miniumum of 4 gauge mate.

I'm doing this mod soon, may be having 2 more batteries in the boot, but im using 0 gauge for ALL this, should be running 4 12's with a 3000wrms amp! Possibly going to use a Ohio Generators Alternator.

Id say off the top of my head 4 gauge is about 10mm ish.

Are you using a split charge set up with a relay etc ?

 

[Dink]

yeah tis right as long as it's the same earth point as the 1st batt

4 awg is the same as 25mm2 csa but it's diameter overall could be anything due to insulation thickness

100A max really for 4 awg but becareful with the starting current of your car

its all linked with 4awg atm. im thinking about putting a split charge in but as i only started doing this 2 day. its not 1st on my list
3000rms would you like some ear muff's

I'm asking about the MM of 4awg because

on that battery terminal it says it takes 9MM wire so i was wondering if that would fit my 4awg

and yes its same earthing point as battery (A). i was going to link it right to battery (A) but i didnt want to change all the standard connections on the earth

 

[Dink]

yeah i just measured an off cut of PG 4 awg and the conductor is about 9mm in diameter

the 5.5mm ones prolly 8 awg

the 5.5Mm will do for my other power wires like Screens,Amp remote turn on,cough neons cough,Alarm, central locking, door poppers , ect ect

im having a job finding a 90Amp fuse holder all i can find say 60 fuse ( this might just be the fuse they give with it but not sure )
