I don’t plan on running a killswitch, maybe down the road but if so I’ll get to that when the time comes. For now I simply want to put the battery in the trunk and make everything work the same way it did before. Take into consideration the wire tuck I’m working on and I’m gonna have to make a new wire to the alternator and the starter as well as the positive cable from the battery itself. I know in the stock configuration, power came from the + side of the battery with one cable going directly to the starter and another smaller wire splitting off at the positive terminal and going to the fuse box, with the alternator wire also coming off the fuse box. So with the battery in the trunk, would it work if I were to run a (1/0) cable from the battery in the trunk, to a distribution block mounted somewhere on the driver inner fender, and then from the distribution block make a new cable that goes to the fuse box, alternator, and starter? Here’s the distribution block I have, it has (1) 1/0 feed on one side and (4) spaces on the output side for sizes 4-8AWG. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181020/6df6d97b0f73ae11cd8cc3d3f34b06de.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181020/79634177c9237a8a68c06f9d61814d81.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I’ve read dozens of different threads with dozens of different approaches to what is the best way to configure a battery relocation setup. I just want simple and to retain functionality of everything as it was before. Would there be any need to add fuses anywhere on the output side of the dist. block such as on the wire feeding the alternator? And what about a manual reset circuit breaker mounted on the battery box for the positive cable? Is it a must-have and if so what amp rating would be ideal? A thread I found on here suggested a 200 amp breaker to be used as close to the battery as possible. Thanks for any help in advance. This is one of the big items that I wanna get crossed off soon and it’s been puzzling me for a long time now.</blockquote>
