Re- Amemiya makes one, but I believe it cost around 400 dollars. Not sure where it mounts it too.

I agree with dannobre.. Make your own & use a lightweight Braille battery to counter act the weight over running wire to the back of your car..

RE-Amemiya makes a battery relocation kit that moves the battery to the window washer point (RHD model only). You cant go wrong with anything from them!

it also replaces the washer fluid bottle and has its own oil catcher can

How handy are you? The one TeamRX8 made looks quite simple.

Sorry for the digging up of old threads I just noticed the question was never really answered and I was searching myself.

Since I have the HKS Hi-Power I decided that putting it in the trunk would be best for weight balance.

that might be more of what your looking for.

if your going for your own custom work use 2 gauge wire and you can get the post connectors from either a card audio shop or pepboys.

However last time I checked you needed the battery to be in a sealed box if its relocated. Is that a state law or just for racing events?
