What is the best/easiest way to make the positive battery cable longer? I do not want to cut it.
I need to temporarily put the battery in the rear trunk. I don't want to cut any cables. I plan to get a longer negative cable assembly but that is not possible with the positive cable. |

Buy an extension piece, insulate where you bolt it on,you will need a cable that has a post clamp one end and an 8mm eyelet the other,how do you plan the earth the battery negative ?,make sure you fasten the battery down solidly. |
