Battery Relocation

[atlas]

This is the first battery relocation job that I've ever done, so I need to make sure I have everythnig thought out correctly with regards to distruction blocks & number of fuses.

Currently, I have a 0-gauge wire run from the hood to the trunk, which will take the power from the battery in the trunk and bring it to the power lines under the hood. I have one AGU in-line fuse under the hood. Do I need another one in the trunk as well, even though it's the same line?

Since I took the battery out from under the hood, I have 4 loose power lines and 4 loose ground lines that were attached to the battery terminals. I intend to connect all the power lines together using a ground distrubution block, and run them together onto the 0-gauge power line that runs to the trunk. I'll use another ground distrubution block to run all the ground lines together into one large 0-gauge ground line that will mount to the body of the car (I know I have to sand off the paint to make a good connection). These are the distribution blocks I intend to use:

So, besides the question I have above about the extra AGU in-line fuse, so I have everything straight?

Thanks for your help guys,
Darrell.

Yeah, I would. It's always preferable to have the fuse or cut-off as close to the power source as possible.

Thanks, I'll do that.

So, is everything else ok? Those distrubution blocks I listed are not waterproof, is that ok?

Everything looks good. What type of battery will you be using?

I suggest a Yellowtop.

[megail]

i suggest red top. i've destroyed a couple yellows, i lost faith in them.

Yellow top for me... size 34/78. Can't wait to see the performance difference. Thanks everyone for your replies!

performance?

I had to relocate my battery to make room for the CAI.

Yeah, that was one of the main reasons I relocated my battery too. When I said performance, I didn't mean speed differences related to any weight balancing, but to stereo & overall electrical performance.

What CAI did you get?? I still have my battery underhood with with my CAI.

I had George and Matt's old school CAI.

when I got the GMK I didn't bother putting the battery back under the hood.
