NY Battery Relocation Kits

Does anyone know of any reputible sources for a good battery relocation kit?

I dont want to just go down to advance auto and buy some crappy wiring to cut and bolt together.

Thanks

I bought an Odyssey PC680 and located it behind the passenger seat, drilled a few holes and used j-hooks and a piece of 1 inch metal strap to hold it down. Then went down to the auto parts store and bought 3-4 ft general battery cables, ran them under the carpet and down through the hole for the shifter to the starter, Pos. to stock location and neg. to the bolt that holds the starter to the bell housing. you could run the the neg. cable to the seat belt bolt or any other good ground, if you do that i would make sure that your frame to motor ground cable is good, i guess do that either way. Then just take the stock battery cables out of the harness. Hope this helped, good luck.

I don't like summits kits because the gauge wire is too small for my tastes.

Need atleast 1ga if not 1/0.

I run a 4ga line for the alternator.
