Battery Relocation

[93cc7.3]

You didnt miss anything, but I feel 1/0 is too small. If it were my project i would use 3/0 cable, especially since you're making the run longer.

As far as an isolator, maybe you could get one from an RV place?

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-140-amp-...2M/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1321406499&sr=8-12

This would simplify wiring and would charge both batteries at the same time.



Has anyone here ever done a right side frame mount? You could have a very short, large cable going to the starter. It would probably flip the truck right over...

Only problem i see with that is how to access the batteries...

Hey come over tomorrow im building my battery tray and hopefully getting both the 31's hooked up I bought 4/0 wire

sort of a side note for frame mounting batteries, one of the next things that kills batteries besides extreem heat and cold is vibration. mounting to the frame depending on how its done could shorten the service life since it does not have the body mounts to help dampen the vibration. something that was tought to us when i worked at a parts store.

on the other hand it will not be exposed to extreem underhood temps......
