I'm relocating my battery to my trunk and need some quick answers on what gauge wire to use. Which wire is best. And if anyone knows of a good place to get it. Oh and you know how for the spec v there are two wires that go to the positive side? Well can I just connect those two together and connect one long power wire to that?

Thanks

get the summit relocation kit. Trust me on this, it has everything you need

(I've got it )

What ga does the Summit kit use?

 

[chimmike]

I think 6 or 8.

Does the summit kit include a battery box? The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting an optima and they're not supposed to emit gas, correct? WOuld I still need the box?

Much appreciated.

yeah it includes the box. You need to secure the battery tightly, and the box basically helps do that.

i believe the summit kit comes with 2ga. (6 is rather thin, 8's thinner, ...stock is 4ga)
its a great little kit for the basic setup. if you have a big audio setup, i'd suggest 1/0 to run from the battery back to the engine bay, and redo all the battery grounds in the engine bay over with 1/0 (engine, chassis, and battery to alternator)...you should notice a pretty significant difference.

yeah, like mike said, the box is good for tieing the battery down. i dont think i can use that particular kit, simply because im running larger aftermarket terminals to supply 3 amps ...i just make more work for myself because i need to fabricate my own battery tie down so the battery will sit right behind the rear seats (not fold down)

believe me when I say the wiring included in the summit kit is MORE than sufficient.
