Thu, 16 September 2004 12:30 okay well this is how i'm goin to do it: i have the battery box set up and secured in place in the boot, also in my car where the battery box is there is a vent that goes out the tail light (vented out side = legal), i'm goin to run a single circuit breaker of 140AMPS, this is assuming that my car will only ever pull 130Amps b4 blowing the fuses in the engine bay, the 140Amp circuit breaker need to be with in 30cm of the battery it self so that it will set off b4 any damage is done. cabling that i will be running is NARVA 245 power/starter cable its about the same as 4GA wire but is suppose to run higher amps if this fails i will just run another 8GA wire to lighten the load. earthing i will be earthing this in the back of the car i there looks like some good spots on the back of the chasis, i'm looking at earthing a 4GA wire or the 245 depends what i feel like and also a another 8GA wire just to make sure i get a good clean earth, also goin to pick up some gold lugs or possibly brass but i will more then likely get the gold one from jaycar. pricing: circuit breaker : $30 (repco) narva 245amps : $8.50/m (repco) battery box : $13 (supercheap) gold lugs 4GA : $7 (jaycar) gold lugs 8GA : 2.50 (jaycar) i also have some platum terminals they are about $20-30 depending on what out puts you want. other useful things you might need is solder, and a "gas" soldering iron, i read that the best way to contact them is to heat up the whole terminal with the gas iron and then fill it up with solder and push the wire into it. forget crimping it. i hope this helps someone out there i'll let you all know how it goes when i get to it. let me know also if you think in need to change anything.
