I get asked about this frequently. These vehicles are extremely sensitive when it comes to adding accessories to the battery, even with a factory alternator that ranges from 130 to 160 amps depending on the brand. Upgrading the “Big 3” components of the electrical system is crucial for accommodating additional add-ons such as air suspension, stereo systems, underglow, interior lights, and more.

We offer pre-made Big 3 kits specifically designed for these cars, including the dealer for JS Alternators. Today, we completed one of these installations (with unlimited color options available) using the customer’s existing setup and enhancing it with a Big 3 upgrade to prevent power drops. This upgrade is beneficial not only for aftermarket setups but also for maintaining the health of the battery and alternator in factory configurations.

I just installed this little LED Battery Voltage Display Reader on my Infiniti FX35. In order to test or check the battery, you normally have to pop open the plastic cover for it. This makes it easier for me to check the actual battery itself and confirm the voltage reading.

Got the front done for the battery relocation.Left wires a bit long a little disorganized because this isn’t the forever version. I’m going to fab a solid bar to replace small wire from the factory bundle to the distribution block. I will likely replace that distro block with a T-Spec as well. Not that this Amazon clone is bad I be just already a T-Spec one for the rear.

Question: Where did your audio or trunk battery power wire?

Answers (Your choice of options from various owners)

  • “Grommet above the gas on the firewall. It’s where I have my power cable. You have to cut the carpet a bit.”
  • “I ran my power wire threw the same hole as the hood release cable”
  • “Drilled a hole through the firewall on the driver’s side. It’s the shortest distance to the battery to get the full power you’re trying to run through the cable.”
  • “There was a nice easy spot under the glovebox on the passenger side with no drilling.”
