Connecting 4 AWG Wire to the Battery

BoneZ · 05-31-2015, 06:16 PM

Being use to the GM screw type battery cable (actually, the Camaro has a factory bolt on the other side of the car to add accessories), I'm curious. Is there a prefer method of attaching your main power wire to the battery. I'm assuming Nissan's use a post type connection. Anyone have a picture of how they connected?

How much room would you say you have between the battery and the cover?

madwi · 05-31-2015, 09:10 PM

About 1 3/4" ish

Near the negative terminal:

Already did.

...unless it didn't take.

BoneZ · 05-31-2015, 10:03 PM

Yeah, I did.

madwi · 05-31-2015, 10:06 PM

I am just paying it forward. Phunk was kind enough to run out to his garage and snag me some measurements in the past.

I wasn't saying you didn't, as I have no way of knowing. I was just suggesting it.
