oldcorollas Forums Junkie Location: Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Japan Registered: January 2003	Re: battery relocation Tue, 08 June 2004 03:58 LOL, thats one naked AE86 ... reason you would want to use a negative cable back to battery is that you prefer not to rely on the conductivity of spot welds to transfer the current.. thinka botu it.. the only metal to metal contact between panels is the spot welds, and although they are usually good, over time (and with corrosion) the conductivity can decrease... granted it's not really a major issue, but having an earth lead will give you peace of mind... fwiw, if battery is in the front, it is DIRECTLY connected to starter motor via the block.... cable from bat goes to chassis and engine block... which also goes to alternator.. having an earth lead may also reduce the voltage drop between alternator and battery, so the alt will last a little longer and provide a little more grunt.. Norbie, what voltage do you see at the alternator post, and what do you see at the battery when running? Cya, Stewart [Report message to a moderator]
