Battery relocation issues
I have some issues. I relocated my battery using 0ga??? Now after driving the car for alittle while and the car warms up. I turn the car off and try to restart it, at that point car starts really slupish or like the battery is completely dead. If i put a jump box on the front at the power distribution it starts fine.
Any ideas????

i would check to see if the battery is charging. also double check the grounds. have you tried jumping it off of the relocated battery? maybe there is a draw on the battery

Sounds like a bad ground honestly....did you remember to hook your charge wire off the alternator and not just the main power wire?

The altinator works fine. And i've checked and regrounded. And the car wont jump off the battery in the back when it's acting up. I can drive the car fine. It's been like this for awhile. I really would like to figure it out by myself. I don't wanna pay someone.

grab a volt meter and see where you have power and how much.

so the positive cable is good from the battery to the starter, and it wont jump from it? There is a problem with either the ground connections/lugs or the positive connection/lugs

Where did you get the 0ga cables? Did you use the Moroso kit?

what about the positive cable?
if that cable goes from the battery to the starter, and you cant jump the car from the battery, there is an issue there.

13.7 is kinda on the border line for good alt/charging volts. usually youd like to see it between 13.9-14.3

sounds like this is your problem. You got make sure the ground from the battery to the car is good. Than you got run the pos. terminal to the starter and that another wire from the start to the alternator and ground the block to the side of the frame of the car my the window washer fluid tank or coolant tank, you should be fine, My brother had the same problem you are that once the car heated up it wont start back up til it cooled down and the problem was the block wasnt grounded good enough.
