Re: Battery relocation

It may sound dumb but on a Sonoma I had I did a battery relocation to the bed and upgraded to 2 ga wire and the gear reduction starter. It turned over with no problems. I don't know if this will help any. I am interested in this one though because my intake rubs the battery so now the hood doesn't close properly.

That was the reason i went with a smaller battery the intake tube would hit the hood and top of battery and i didn't like that. I think im going to move battery lower in fender and get a die-hard from sears. The starter is basically brand new and works great dont plan to mess with it.

Re: Battery relocation

That is an awesome intake! is there a specific application or part number you are using? I hope you don't mind me asking. Sorry, I know this thread is somewhat old.
I installed a kinetik battery i think it was the 800 series in my typhoon about three years ago so i could install a nice clean intake. The issue is that the truck really takes a hard time to turn over. At first it seems that the battery is weak but then boom it starts. It has been like this since day one the battery isn't bad its just doesnt have enough amperage power to start it normal and now im worrying that it wasn't a great idea.

What are others using for a battery that is smaller in size and saves space but at the same time gives enough amperage to start truck with no problems? I would love to move the battery in the fender but as we all now Kenne bell is no longer around and the people that have posted ones for sale i have missed.

If you have one for sale please let me know!!!

Thanks
