Just need some opinions. Would it be illegal/unwise to relocate the batteries in my truck to under the back seats? I don't really want to put them in the bed or outside the frame where they could be tampered with without my knowledge, but I want to clean up the inside of my engine bay. Thanks!
Question: Battery relocation.
- Thread starter SgtKilroy
- Start date
Mine would not start with one battery unless battery was almost fully charged, more then a day or so sitting and it was garantied to not sart. I would not run one battery if your luck is like mine it will eave you hangin when you most need it.
Mount it on the inside of the frame tucked away

Mine has started with now grid heater and one battery after not running for a week in -11 wind chill
might try running just one of these http://www.odysseyfactory.com/ They are supposed to be way better than anything out there. We have started ordering some for our trucks and I will say they are a good bit heavier than a standard battery.
Mine are going where my spare tire was. I am going to build a tray for 2 optimas. Tucked up in the frame.
Gonna even put a push/pull disconnect that I can run thru the spare tire key lock for when its required at tracks. When I dont need it I can un pin it, remove it and close the lock door

i found a bosch battery at pepboys. I rerouted my extra cable and hooked it to the alt. I removed the factory alt wire and the junction block on the driverside of the motor because it was in the way of my dual fuelers and the plastic cover was broke. It charges fine. That way if i ever have to put the second batt back in everything is still there. I just tucked the other parts away in the garage incase i need them.

NHRDA rules for 2010
Batteries must be in front of the fire wall for super street
Pro street doesnt matter
