Battery relocation - dr_jekyll - 21-05-2015 So went to a scrapy and bagged myself two merc battery cables for £5 The cables the thickness of my finger and one come off a turbo diesel estate and the other a 6 cylinder petrol estate (same cable). Will these be man enough for a relocation and whats the best way to run a setup? Earth to the body ...or... an earth ran from the bay aswell as the posi RE: Battery relocation - Niall - 21-05-2015 If its the size of your finger, ts probably big enough but can you measure the diameter of the copper? Run the power line (carefully) from a proper joint box to the new battery location then earth the battery with a cable the same size as the positive to as close to the battery to a clean (bare metal) and secure place. You will also need to run an earth cable from the engine block to the body otherwise the car won't start.
