Putting Battery In Boot

[gizzmo 3 1 Cars]

whats your drill? say 1800w? if the flex was 2.5mm2 (about 18mV/A/M) then at 80 meters you would get 11.2 volt drop so .75 flex would drop a hell of a lot more.(as the CSA decreses the resistance per meter increases)

your cable over 80m would drop 11.83volts which being over 4% wouldn,t meet the requirments of bs7671 but would meet the requirement of operationof equipment .the quote about the drill not operating well thats not worth answearing. my point is that 2m of say 35mm cable which is ideal for battery leads,volt drop wouldnt be worth taking into account

well iv bin using a standar battery in the boot earthed to the inner rear wing and using regular batery cable to the front with no over heating or noticable vlotge drop at all, and no vents ( but could be a good idea :S)

 

as for the powerdrill using several extensions, geta cordless one
