Jegs trunk battery relocation kit

[matta]

Ok guys, I just bought a jegs trunk mount battery kit.

link: Jegs Performance Products 10278 Trunk Mount Battery Box Kit | eBay

I see it doesn't come with a circuit breaker...

It comes with 2 gauge wire. So would I be better off buying a 130A circuit breaker or just get a 130A inline fuse block. Im pretty sure that kit has everything else I would need

You'll want a circuit breaker installed as close as possible to the positive battery terminal so that you have a quick disconnect for the system and one that is re-usable in case you screw up and short something.

Stinger has a nice one that I just used (though I used a 150amp) in my battery relocation that I did last weekend:

and I dont have to mess with the alternator wiring if Im not installing a killswitch right?

Reading the battery relocation threads is making me more confused. Im not doing any drag racing. I just need room in my engine bay!

Distribution block for the engine bay ( fuse box wires and starter wire)

150A circuit breaker that I will mount in the trunk so Its close to the battery.

I'm not sure what you mean by "don't mess with" so this may not be the right answer for you. If you're going to bring your wiring from the trunk up to the stock fusebox and let it distribute connectivity then you wouldn't have to directly mess with the alternator's wiring. If you did this you would still need some way to branch off the starter's wire, so keep that in mind.

The way I did things was I used this distribution block with M8 studs and a cover mounted in my engine bay, and had wires from it to my necessary connections:

You don't have to have a circuit breaker, an inline fuse will work too (that's how I ran mine). But DO NOT run with out one or the other.

You are correct, if you are not installing a kill switch, than you don't need to touch the alternator.

Just my opinion and some experience but 2Ga wire seems a bit skinny. I tried running 4Ga welding wire(fine stranded, high current) and it didnt work. I got it working by doublin up on the 4ga for both pos and neg but i would strongly recommend some high quality 0Ga wire pos AND neg. That ebay listing doesnt even tell the length.
You might as well freshed up the Alt wiring while youre at it. Run a single 4ga or 2 off the alt. It'll help keep voltage loss to a minimum when doing a battery relocate.

TSIAWD666: Thank you for that link. I NEED one, now i know where to get it. Looks good too.

Run either or just make sure you run something

Ok so I've bought some other things besides the jegs kit

I run 2ga and it works just fine. Logging voltage on DSMLink confirmed this.

matta - Those items should work just fine.

Thanks for the confirmation. Ill keep this thread updated if I have trouble
