Battery in boot....

[CustomChris]

Hello

I have already searched before you all jump on the bandwagen with the "DO A SEARCH" post....less hating, more loving!

Anyway, can someone explain how i would go about relocating my battery to my boot?

What would i need and how would i do it?

Many Thanks!!

Chris

lots of 4AWG cable, a distribution block ( Ebay link ), some inline fuses / circuit breakers, 1 for engine bay other for boot (recommended anyway), and some battery connectors, and a tray for the battery of course ( Ebay link )

you searched? Lol.

I searched the site the other day as a relocated my battery on tuesday. Was easy. And you dont need any inline fuses as its fine with out them. Unless you get a high amp fuse because the cranking power is rather large. Lol. There will be a slight volt drop so use a good battery. All information i used was in the leon section and some info philw posted a while back

The reason for the inline fuse is for some extra protection as if say you had a break in the wire in the car under some carpet, the fuse would blow at the battery end and stop power.

Basically its just an extra bit of safety just in case and for the sake of about £5, probably less than that, its worth it

cost wise then yeah. But if you do it then you will need a high amp fuse.
