FAQ

Here is a list of frequently asked questions we get from a lot of people looking to order

1) What batteries fit in the Bracket Boyz Battery Brackets?

This battery bracket can fit any battery with a dimension of 6.5"L x 6.93"W x 5.05" H. We can confirm that an Antigravity ATX-30-HD, ATX-30 RE, and an Odyssey PC925 does fit. Most group 30L batteries should fit and we will update our list of confirmed fitment. 

2) What orientations can you run a AGM or lithium battery?

All lithium batteries can be ran in any orientation.  AGM batteries are fine to mount on its side but not upside down since it has a vent on the top. 

3) Should I go with 2ga or 4ga cable for my setup? (I need larger than 2 gauge cables do your products fit?)

This is directly related to the amperage rating of your system as well as the length of the cable runs. The chart provided below can guide you. 

(If you have sized your application and need to use larger than 2 gauge, we can support 1 gauge and 1/0 sizes. You can email us at info@bracketboyz.com and we can help you with a custom order.)

 

4) Is a breaker or fuse needed?

Yes, the general recommendation is a main fuse or breaker is installed within the first 18 inches from the battery positive terminal. This makes our mounting locations on our brackets ideal since it is as close to the positive terminal as possible while keeping everything compact, securely mounted and accessible. It keeps the unprotected side of the wire run as short as possible.   

5) What size breaker or fuse should I run?

Fuses and breakers are sized to protect the wiring. It is recommended to run 20-25% higher amperage than the continuous current. It is OK to have a surge current higher than the fuse rating up to twice the fuse rating. For instance a couple of seconds for starting a engine. We sell 150A and 200A amp breakers along with fuse holders that can take AMG style fuses from 100-300A to suit your application.  

6) Should I wire my kill switch for negative or positive?

We wire our kill switch on  negative since we use 2 terminal kill switches. This is ideal for most street and occasional track cars. For full time race cars, if you are required by regulations to install a positive side kill switch that can turn off the car while running - There are 4 position and 6 position kill switches that will allow you to kill power from the battery, alternator, ignition, etc. Note that a 2 position kill switch installed on the positive or negative side will not stop the car from running as the alternator will still provide power and there is still ground thru the chassis and engine. 

7) Do you offer brackets for other battery sizes?

We are currently working on different battery group sizes with an emphasis on lithium battery groups.

8) What cars do the battery bracket fit in?

We have used this brackets in many different cars either in the engine bay, cabin or trunk relocation. The base plate size is 9.31"L x 6.75" W. 

9) How does the battery bracket mount?

The base plate has 4 holes that allow you to either nut and bolt it down or use bolts and rivnuts.
