Not real sure what you are asking.

That said, if you relocate the battery you need to re-connect everything at the new location that was connected at the old location. To do any different will require extensive re-wiring.

Not to be a smart a@@ but if you have to ask then the re-wiring is probably beyond your skill level.

Just run wires from the new location that you can connect to the old wires at the old location.

Use the same size wire or larger. DO NOT USE SMALLER WIRE. (Larget the number the smaller the wire: #18 AWG is smaller than #14 AWG)

Good luck.

This is what I did-

I did not want to molest my factory harness/cable, so I just found a charging/remote start post and bolted the battery cable to it. Now I just connect my factory battery cable right to it. It's completely reversible and does not require the cutting of the factory harness.

I recently found a better remote post and mount, but I haven't taken pics yet. Either way, there are easy and cheap ways of getting around cutting of the OE harness. (those posts were about $3 a set at Carquest )

Better answer than I gave. I guess I didn't really understand what he was asking.

Just be sure to protect it from shorting out and from the weather. Lots of options in that area.
