Hi all,
I've spent the last few hours now trawling the forum and I'm unable to find answers to the following questions, I've just bought several meters of 0 AWG / 54mm² cable and will be fitting it this weekend but need a few questions answering please
1. When running cable from battery to boot, is it possible to connect it directly to the fuse box?
I'd like to wire the 0 AWG positive wire straight into the fuse box to cut out the old positive battery wire but I can't find any information on this.
2. When doing battery-to-boot, is it necessary to take off the left wing off?
Is there an easier way to run 2 x 0 AWG cables than having to take the wing off
like this to feed the cable between the cabin and the engine bay?
3. Is there any information on replacing the alternator positive wire?
I'd like to replace this with some fresh 2 AWG, again how can I replace the old wire, is there a howto?
4. Is there a way to secure a battery box to the bottom left of the boot?
I'd like to put the battery in front of the rear left (nearside in UK) lamp cluster.
5. What are the recommended grounding points to increase ground conductivity?
I'd like to make a grounding kit, what are the grounding points in the engine bay?
6. Should I bother running a ground cable alongside the power cable from the battery to boot?
From my perspective, there's a handful of things I can do here:
- Ground the battery as close to the battery as possible
- Ground the battery at multiple points along it's trip to the engine bay
- Just run the ground cable to the engine bay and connect it to the old battery negative terminal (or maybe replace it?)
Thanks in advance
