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. |

Maybe this will help: I'm going to cut out the homemade battery tray that's there now, get the area all grinded and prepped, then drive the car to a welder who is going to install a new, stock battery tray.
Does the battery need to be upright? I could just put it in the old spot, but I'm not sure it will be upright. Welder is about 30 miles away on freeways and suburban streets. |

Get a battery that doesn't need to be upright. Meaning not lead-acid. Most will say Optima. I say Odyssey. I use a PC680. Although I'm more likely to explore Lithium Ion next time. |
