Battery relocation question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got a question about relocating the battery. Should I cut the wires and feed them into a distribution block, or would I be ok just connecting them all to a single 2gauge wire? I am putting a 150a circuit breaker 1ft from the battery FYI. Thanks.

Here's the one I used.

It has a ring terminal (so you can use any gauge wire to reach it from your battery) and 4 available 4 gauge outputs. I have 1 for the starter, 1 for both those plugs twisted together (alternator and fuse box I believe), one going to my electric fan relays and the last is open. I may eventually run it to a remote positive terminal so I can charge or jump from the engine bay but for now it's just empty.

Prior to installing it, I just had them all terminated in ring terminals and connected via bolt wrapped in electrical tape. This is much cleaner/safer. I do still need to come up with a bracket or mount to secure it.

I use a side post adapter. It retains the stock connector. The cable from the trunk has a ring terminal.
