Hey guys
those of you who have relocated the battery to the hatch - how did you do it? Did you run two leads back to the hatch, basically extending the old leads? Or did you just ground it in the back somewhere? What gauge wire did you use? Any suggestions on where/how to hide wires, or run them through the firewall? thanks -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

Just finished up my battery relocation today. The hardest part is definitely just finding a way to get the wire past the firewall. Otherwise this was one of the easier things I've done to my car. Seems to be well worth it. I'll be picking up an Optima battery soon and that'll be it. Not counting the cost of the battery, my total cost was $46. Not bad at all.
