Battery

[protonevo]

Did anyone try to / did relocate car battery ???

Would like to try by my-self......

Then where are you supposed to put it in? Remember that the battery releases gases. If you are to put it in the trunk. Make sure that it's well ventilated. Or you can try the dry cells.

yes it pretty simple

just abit of work lo
need to drill the floorboard IF you wanna do a GOOD job.
my bad experience already, if you don't secure the battery down PROPERLY

only use METAL strapping material. NO Nylon-whatever non-metal.

i used WELDING CAbles, about RM2-4 per feet. Most would need 8-10ft le (if relocate into boot.

i've got a battery relocation kit, sligthly 2nd hand, from khaiextreme, who used it for a day or 2, only to find himself broke :P and had to sell the kit for his trip home Ipoh.
It's been with me eversince.

[saru-kun]

usually relocate battery, in racing world...is part of a process to reduce the polar moment of inertia...so that the car is more nimble in handling...by putting most of the weight of the equipment in the middle of the car...as low as possible as well...
cheers

saru-kun

well said, in technical terms :P
in layman terms he meant:

less weight over the front of the car, i moved that dead weight to the center of th car's CG.
this exercise is PURELY for my handling issues :) wanna make it best ma...

WHY?
because the battery in front, over the front tyres, (only!) well, during cornering, it gives the already overworked tyres more work to do.
so, by putting it in the center of the CG of car, the battery is now more evenly supported by 4 tyres (theory la) and since the load is now transfered more evenly now, the handling should be better :)

here's a pic of Khai's kit

pls pls ignore the temporary cable ties straping the battery down

 

[KingHaruan]

errr... :unsure: one small batery got diffrent ah?

[xtorm]

acually can really feel the difference if my car is orig weight?

 

[ninja_iga]

hahah

YES

 

[ninja_iga]

the battery is quite a weight mind you

 

[xtorm]

oooo.....then can really consider since i got some 8 gauge cable...

but where to put? below the sit can fit kahhh.....hmmmm driving iswara...mine is dry cell...

 

[ninja_iga]

ah...

since you're a road car, not a race car..
maybe, just infront of the passeger seat? :unsure:

mine's behind the passenger seat.. and no one gets to seat behind anyway

 

[KingHaruan]

put in trunk better...u put in seating area...later u'r kucing come play play...kena short...Bzzz Bzzz all afro baru tau :P haahaha

 

[protonevo]

Eh ninja, one thing I need to ask. If I relocate the battery would it reduce the electic power to all the car electronic components like audio, starter, head light and air-cond ??
