Battery relocation (was Re: car stereo install accessories)

Thanks Ron (ground location answer)...

...but if you went the jumper cable route...

one side = 20ft - 14ft for B+ leaves 6' for ground, and cut the other half
in two reattach the clamps you cut off and you've got a set of heavy duty
10' jumper cables....

or go in with a friend and do two rocs!
