how does everyone do this?

How does everyone connect their battery cable after doing a battery relocation? i was just gonna use a 0-4guage in and out distribution block with a 150amp fuse... any suggestions?

Sounds about right.
I'd look up battery relocation threads for some inspiration.

yeah I did mine one 4 (or 2 cant remember) guage wire running of the battery to split by a fuse and running under the floor mats then a second connected to the battery and running to a ground where I just put a screw and a nut through the hole where the thing that holds the spare tire goes to

i did mine by just running the positive wire directly to the starter and the negative straight to a bolt that holds my spare down and all the rest of the wiring i do im not gonna say haha it whould take 2 hours haha

Wait, so you had constant power to your starter? Am I understanding you correctly??

If so that sounds like a horrible idea but please correct me if I'm wrong.

u always have constant power to the starter solenoid right from the battery... thats how it is (fused wire from trunk/car interior/enginebay ) on all cars...

the starters solenoid shuts and allows the power through the motor and its grounded out to the block/trans.

edit : i wanna call u a dingbat and giggle :)

just put it in the back.... ground it to one of the many holes... and get some battery cable and run it from the original battery cable to the back. thats how i did mine. works fine.

i already have it relocated. has been for years. I was just wondering what everyone else used to connect the new battery cable to existing wires on the harness in the engine bay. i think im gonna use this

0/4GA in and out. 150amp fuse... should i use 100amp instead?

What he said. Go look at your car, the large 4gauge wire goes directly to the starter. The smaller 8gauge wires run into the fusebox.
