I have a tii swap s5 gtu and want to relocate the battery to the back I haven't looked into but am wondering what will it take to move the battery to the compartment behind the passenger seat.

 

FC3S Pro v2.0: How To - Battery Relocation

 

Awesome thank you !

 

Where do I connect the positive battery cable to in the engine bay ?

 

Should I connect it to the existing positive cable?

 

Positive battery cable should connect to the starter just like the factory one did with the battery in the engine compartment.

 

Alright

 

go from the underhood breaker to the starter

 

I would recommend a circuit breaker to be installed when you relocate the battery.

Also, study the electrical diagram for the starting circuit and main fuse/power circuits. There is normally a separate wire that comes off the battery to the main fuse block to power those accessories as well as wiring for the alternator charging circuit. Unless you want to use a battery charger every so often to keep your battery alive.

 

Awesome this is perfect thank you stranger !

 

To add to this, you should do as the instructions say and install 2 circuit breakers, one on each side of the battery cable.

 

I plan on it where can I find them locally ? Auto parts store or hardware store?

 

Oreilly sells em for 30 bucks. I bought some on amazon for half the price.

 

Nice perfect

 

If you ever have a problem starting your car, remove the circuit breaker. They are not put in cars from the factory for a reason.

 

Why would it cause the car not to start

 

Positive cable normally connects to starter unless a junction box
is used because of length.

 

Gotcha

 

I don't understand why a simple junction block wouldn't work.

 

It does, mine has been set up that way for years.

 

Most circuit breakers wear out.. I can't tell you how many of the V8 guys have had problems caused by circuit breakers. Again, there is a reason OEMs don't put circuit breakers on their cars.

 

Mine works fine as well.

 

Ok I won't run breakers. Could I just but connect the new cable into the factory cables ?

 

I would recommend running new battery cable as the factory cable tends to dry out and get corroded. Welding wire is a great alternative to battery cable and is a ton more resistant to grease/oil/heat/etc over standard battery cable.

Example:
24' FT EXCELENE 2 AWG GAUGE WELDING & BATTERY CABLE 12' RED & 12' BLACK USA NEW | eBay

 

I've got 30 feet of 2 gauge welding wire. If I was to get rid of the factory battery terminal wires , where would I put the new cables on the starter and main power relay?
