One of the many items I addressed on my Elise this winter was a battery relocation with a remote cutoff switch. While I feel the installation looks safe I thought I'd ask the group just so a second set of eyes can look things over.
My goal was to replace my original battery, reduce/redistribute the weight, have a remote cut-off switch inside the cabin, and to increase security.
Some details:
-Braille B14115
-Modified BOE battery bracket
-Cole Hersee sealed 12V 85A continuous duty solenoid
-->Military grade SPST switch inside cabin. Wires wrapped in corrugated tubing to avoid any wire chafing on the chassis.
-->All smaller gauge terminals crimped and shrink wrapped
-Battery terminals crimped, soldered, and ends sealed with heat shrink
The only thing I am seeing here is adding some positive terminal protectors in case I drop a wrench to avoid a spark show.
Anybody see anything else they would recommend? Clam is still off!
BTW, there is no fuel spill guard on my fuel filler because I have a Radium clam kit installed.
