Very nice work. It looks super clean. I'm going to do this eventually. Finally I have an idea of what distribution box I should use... Now to order one of those and an Optima so I can put that sucker in the spare tire area!

 

This is how i did mine with this write up, it worked great.
I put mine in the trunk thou here is a pic

that was a really clean install, i'm thinking of doing something similar but with a battery box as well

 

I noticed you used a 300a main fuse, just wonder if there was a reason for this? wouldn't 150a be sufficient.

Great job on the install, Very neat.

 

nice looks good i did the same thing but instead made a plate on the other side of the trunk, went thru the driver side and installed a strain relief. also used a circuit breaker./Users/josephmelendez/Desktop/IMG_0141.jpg

 

sorry new hear still trying to figure out how to load pictures lol

 

Can you please post link to the same exact power distribution block that you used? I am having trouble finding the same one.
Thank you.

 

nice write up !!!!!

 

That's a very nice clean battery set up good work

 

Looking to do the distribution block portion of this relocation (already moved my battery to the back.)

I ended up picking up a scosche sblock4f pretty much the same kind of distribution block as the OP. The issue I have is on how to connect the 4 wires that come off the stock fusable link. The OP elected to use the same amp rated fuses as the fusable link for 2 of the links which makes perfect sense. The other two, however, have no fuses and you used 150amp fuses. Does anyone know what these 4 wires end up going to? I'd assume one to the starter, one to the alternator, one to the main fuse box, and not sure about the other.. perhaps the in cabin fuse box? Anyone have a schematic for this?

How is this working so far for your Kian, everything working fine? Hopefully I will be able to do this during the weekend, if not I may do it during the week next week.

 

wish I had the patience or drive to do this.... mini battery will have to do

 

just wondering would 4 gauge wire be fine, with a 150 amp fuse?

 

nm i found the answer. looks like it should be fine since im running higher end wire.

 

nice write up !!!!

 

So here's the update. Just finished my entire build and after a short drive I noticed my alternator fuse was heating up. This means resistance. You think bad connection or bad ground. In my case I had cut the alternator wire too short to allow it to butt up to my extension. This was causing the heat and blown fuses.

I also decided to solder several connections for good measure, but the exposure of more copper allowed a more solid connection and resolved the problem.
