Battery Cable Size For Trunk Mount Battery. We mounted this eddie motorsport battery tray in the trunk with four bolts that come with the kit. To run from the trunk to the engine that is a significant distance increase. I don t think you can get standard battery cable long enough or large enough to run that extra distance.
In summary when selecting the correct size of battery cable you need to take into account the total maximum amperage your electrical system requires the voltage of your system usually 12 volts the total length that your cables need to be and the amount of voltage drop you are willing to accept versus the amount you want to spend.
