Need parts list for battery re location



  C63 AMG, F430 & 172
Dint dare link Hitach's thred LOL

i need a parts list and the best place to buy them! i also want to include a rally red key power kill switch. links would be great
 
Need cable, some form of securing the battery where ever you wanna relocate it to, a junction box, i'd put a fuse inline just after the +ve comes off the battery.

As for a kill switch you need to do some research as you can't just fit a switch as you'll find alternator will keep the engine running, unless its just for cosmetic uses

I've half done mine Ben. I used Autoleads stereo cable (the thick stuff), 2 new terminals and a junction box. Then get a battery box and bolt it to the floor.

Peice of piss.

remember you only have to run the +ve cable the length of the car, just earth the battery to the shell at the back

if only you werent banned i'd give you a list and prices of what i compiled that you will need to put your relocate your battery, i think you've got the red top 25 like yozzasport?

i got the same one sat beside me im thinking on putting it behind the passenger seat just sorting other crap first before messing with battery though ben, e.g get all your cage sorted and the rest before worrying about battery and stuff

u sure fred? im positive it was a 25? i got the 25 anyways lol strange how they only do box's to fit the 30 and 40 though!
and the price of the reverie carbon box for laid down battery! its insane!!!

least my headunit and stuff is gone to put a killswitch on the dash :)

I'm gonna use a normal one until I can afford to splash out on a smaller one and alloy box. What's the longevity of them when left for a few days??

apparently will last a couple of days, but i mean you could just start it up every 2 days and let it warm up, and i know what you mean about waiting to splash the cash for one, my battery died bought another for £75 blooming mega battery then a month later bought the red top so eventually gonna have a mega useless battery

No worries. You'll need about £50 unless you get one of these posh, lightweight, go flat after 3 days batteries ;)

Mine looks neat as fook too....
