battery relocation, again ..??

[sweelt]

yup back to finishing my job...fyi, i not eat full, sell pao, i work night shift. Got ample time indeed.

Go to tesco, finally managed to get the enclose plastic box i want. 22 litre one. 12 bucks.
Height of the box is 9". Dont use higher. Later cannot close the boot. :hmmmm:
Go stationary section, get ruler. Hahaha.,..
i was so worry. Anyway luck on my side.
Yeah, again dive in take out wira tray and fit into new box.


Dive again, screw the tray and box together. And also my diy battery holder too (i use back from engine bay).
Battery holder is piece metal, i use 3 layer heat shrink tubes.


Battery in, tighten everything. Red tape is acrylic tape from tesco too. 2 rolls. To ensure minimal gas leakage.
Air tube to vent out excess gas.



There you have it. Complete project.

As you see the grounding, 4 welding spot. Do not drill hole there, is a frame. Cannot tighten bolts/nuts inside the frame....

Thanks for all the feedback. Dear sifu/otai/king.
Will get bigger venting tubes, maybe 10-12mm after CNY.

not only you, I am wondering why I need a spare tyre..
since my pcd is totally different.
spare is 4 holes while current is 5 holes.

any idea which spare tyre can clear a 4 pot brake kit?
5 holes only.

Time to throw away the spare, then carry repair kit and pump but if tyre burst cannot help.....

Oh ya, before i BBQ myself. Better put fuse. Hahahahaha....:tongue:
I get ANL fuse. Fuse holder base diy.

What is the fuse amp?

 

[sweelt]

Cable rating 300A.
Fuse I use 250A. Just to avoid cable shorting and burn car down.

Protect from fire in case cable shorting to ground.

Many have not seen a cable shorted/grounded on a 12v battery. It glows red then melt, same time can cause fire......lol
