my engine bay doesnt really have enough space for some reason even though i have a stock(ish) 5s. so im looking to relocate my battery to the trunk.
two things...the previous owner(s) really kept effin the terminals so the wire which connects to my positive terminal, is really short so thats causing my battery be closer to the engine and hence taking more space. so either i relocate my battery or just extend those wires. so the question is: 1. how to relocate a battery for a noob? 2. how to extend those wires without buying a new harness? i would obviously choose the easier/cheaper option so please help. thank you in advance -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

I have 0 gauge wire running between the batteries between the front and rear of my car. with the front battery disconnected it still cranks just like it would in a stock setup. so i would opt for a 2 gauge if you can. now remember if u go smaller, anytime your battery is low u might not be able to start your car cause of the extra power it takes to run the length in the smaller cable. 4ga cable cranks slow with full battery means 4ga with low battery = no crank
