Battery Access Modification
<font color="DarkRed">Wayne and I like to work on projects together so we've put our heads together on several to <br />
make our Stallion a bit more comfortable and user-friendly (another to follow in an additional thread).<br />
<br />
We found that the Stallion's battery was difficult to access (L rear tire must be removed). <br />
We drilled a hole near the CD player in the trunk and ran #9 electrical wire to the battery <br />
for easier jumping and charging. To finish it off Wayne made a wing-nut bolt on plastic plate cover.<br />

Re: Battery Access Modification
Hey Wayne- Ive see some remote battery lugs that have a pop off plastic covers that are used on race-cars. I bet Jegs Performance Catalog has those...Im gonna look! Great mod Wayne!
P.S.- Don't tell him I told you but Wayne has a very warped sense of humor.
Re: Battery Access Modification
Great Idea SS!!!!!!!! I have been trying to figure that one out but you hit that one on the head! Thank you so much. I am guessing the rear portion of the trunk that you drilled through is fiberglass? Is it possible to get a picture of the battery side so I can get a better idea of how to complete this? Thanks again, I cannot say that enough! This will make attaching the trickle charger that much easier!

<font color="DarkRed">Hey Mattel!<br />
Wayne had the tire off today so I grabbed some photos. <br />
Sorry the quality is not so good and they are somewhat dark but it is<br />
snowing here and the garage was rather dim/dark. Hope this helps!<br />

Re: Battery Access Modification
Zook,
You were right, here they are:
[URL="http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/745300/10002/-1"]JEGS Remote Battery Jumper Terminals - JEGS[/URL]
They run 10.00 each.
Re: Battery Access Modification
Yep, Thats the ones I saw in the Jeg's catalog. Thanks Mattel.
Re: Battery Access Modification
I just ordered the terminals. I will post pictures when I get them in. I also purchased a cycle pump for my next flat tire. It uses jumper terminals or a lighter socket for power. Since I destroyed one tire already I am ready for my next flat. I am also going to put together a list of my trunk emergency kit soon. I have been assembling tools. I will start a new thread with it.
Re: Battery Access Modification
I finished my remote jumper terminals this weekend. I used 6 Gage wires because I was worried anything smaller might not work if I was getting a jump off a car. I found I was able to hook the positive end directly into the open crimp-able union that is on the positive terminal. I hooked the negative end into the ground attachment that came off the neg terminal where it hooked into the frame. I will upload the pictures next week.
Thanks for the Idea SS! I have it up and running and in case I need to use my cycle pump I am all set!
