Battery Relocation...

[Dan@SJM]

Yesterday i relocated my battery to the boot with the kinf help from my mate who is an electrician who also supplied all the cable and lugs! Yes the terminals have been changed since, as i got there, then realised after doing all the connections i didnt have any new terminals with me

wanna do mine at some time... take long?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Took us about 2 hours, including making that plate top support the battery while he makes up a box for me. the cable is 25mm, and rated to 235 amps or something stupid. I expect we can supply all thats needed (apart from the battery holder)if you want.

has it made the slightest bit of difference???

 

[Dan@SJM]

in what respect?

 

[mas]

weight distribution, does the car feel much more balanced?

 

[Dan@SJM]

havent had time to push it tbh, but i doubt i'll notice a difference, its more when combines with other bits here and there.

 

[mas]

is there any other reason why alot of the mk1 boys relocate to the back other than weight distribution??

i suppose it just creates alot more breathing space in the bay too.

if someone stuffs it up the back of you, will the occupants not explode??

I thought the idea of battery relocation was for airflow to the intake not weight distribution!?! humm..

if someone stuffs it up the back of you, will the occupants not explode??

Occupants or contents :rasp:

No as im getting a box made up as we speak and a dry cell battery.
