Any interest in a Battery Relocation "kit"?

[tvanlant]

I was hoping to buy a complete battery relocation kit, however the only thing available are "universal" kits, which don't come anywhere close to providing everything needed for the install.

I ended up having to buy components from 4 different places, and had to make several trips to the hardware store.

To save others from this headache, I was thinking about packaging everything needed in a complete "kit", along with a detailed installation manual with pictures.

So before going that route, I'm looking to see if there's any interest.
It would end up costing about $375 and include the aluminum battery box, 1 guage cables, fuse holder, 250 amp fuse, junction block, ring terminals, installation manual, and every piece of hardware needed to fully install.

I decided to relocate my coolant reservoir where the battery was. Moving the reservoir freed up much-needed space (especially with supercharged cars).
This could be a separate kit if desired.

Interesting!

Great idea, but I'd add a kill switch to the kit. How about a picture of the whole engine compartment. I'm having a tough time visualizing the space freed up by moving the reservoir.

Really Like the Coolant Resovoir Kit, it would be perfect for my Procharger setup since im keeping the stock fan.

Sucks I just bought and Odyssey Battery, Mount and catch can for that Area. Love the idea though.

I really like this. Is there a way to put the box/battery where the non existent spare is using your same components?

The box can be put in the spare tire well, but it will be more difficult because the floor isn't flat there.
I personally put the box outside of the spare tire well because I still utilize the spare tire (and when I go to the track, I use that space for track equipment.
The carpet is cut along the battery box is, so the trunk mat is still fully functional without removing the battery box.

Pics?

I really like the OP's solution, it looks very clean. Batteries are generally heavy so if I could fab a piece to make the spare tire space flat, I would go that route and have the battery sit low as possible.

you mean like this kit? It's spendy, but its 100% complete!

I want this for my PAxton set up so i can reuse my coolant tank!

What's the difference in the kit you plan on selling and the kit that Taylor makes (made your box)?

 

[tvanlant]

I doubt I will be piecing together a kit since this thread has brought up several good options for our cars.

The Taylor kit is lacking a fuse holder, fuse, distribution block, some hardware, and model-specific installation instruction (obviously, because it is a universal kit).
