Battery Relocation, GT4 Style Options

[DanTheMan]

What a stupid place for a battery toyota.

I need to move it to the boot or swap it with the existing filter, illd prefer to do this:



Question is, how do i relocate it? I know i might need extra very think wire, but how do i hard mount the battery in the new location?

Heres what i want to achieve in the end:

Just some advice for everyone putting their battery in the trunk. Make sure you put a fuse on the positive lead as close as possible to the battery. You guys all seem to be doing it properly using the correct gauge of wire to reduce current loss. But if that wire gets cut somehow and there isn't a fuse you will have a fire. Wire that size doesn't melt to easily to break the circuit. It does get white hot in a hurry though.

Also don't be concerned about drilling back there. The fuel tank stops before the forward edge of the spare tire well and that is between the strut towers. Just get underneath and look before you drill but there isn't much back there. I'd be more worried about a 100 pound battery loose in case of an accident.

I think most cars use a fusible link rather than an actual fuse from the factory. most of the time it's about 14 ga.

True. I just wanted to get the point across that there needs to be something in place to protect the wiring and an inline ANL fuse holder is pretty easy to add.
