Battery in Trunk

[Sho Nuff]

Does anybody here have there battery relocated to the trunk. I did it back in the summer when i got a prelude intake. Back then it started pretty bad until I realized i had to relocate the ground that was to the theft of the engine bay. It started a little better but now that its so cold, Starting my car has become a big pain, it would crank numerous times before the starter has pulled enough power to turn the engine. Now i know that the longer a wire is the more power it requires, but i know that Bmws have their battery in the trunk so i figured if they could get away with it so can i. The battery and starter is alittle over a year old and the alternator will soon have its first birthday.

Is there another ground somewhere that i should relocate? Has anybody else here relocated there battery? Any Information would be helpful.

A simple search will get you loads of info on this. Don't be lazy.

my battery is in the trunk, and i've had NO problems.

I put two ground wires from the neg of the battery to two different spots in the trunk. When you do that, make sure you sand down to meddle wherever the connection will be at.

I already did a search, i just wanted to know a little more.


That sounds like a good idea, i never thought about using two grounds, i bet thats where my problem is. Thanks man.

I've never worked with meddle, is it like metal?
