Lingenfelter L450010197 L450020197 Lingenfelter C5 Corvette Battery Relocation v1.5 - Manual (Page 2)

The LPE C5 Corvette battery relocation kit improves vehicle weight distribution by moving weight
to the rear of the vehicle. The improved weight distribution increases traction for better acceleration
along with providing improved handling and braking. The battery relocation kit also provides space
in the engine compartment for intercooler water tanks and other vehicle additions. The installed kit
safely mounts the battery in the rear storage well of the Corvette and, in those applications equipped
with the storage well cover, fits under the existing rear storage well cover for a clean and stock
appearance.
For added safety, the LPE battery relocation kit is designed to mount to the frame of the vehicle in
four places and also includes a sealed battery box with an external vent tube. The relocation kit is
NHRA and IHRA accepted and is also legal for use in SCCA classes that allow battery relocation.
The kit includes all necessary hardware for installation. The standard kit utilizes heavy-duty 1/0 gage
battery cables to minimize voltage drop. The light-weight kit uses 1 gage battery cables and uses the
frame as the ground cable, significantly reducing the weight of the system. The light-weight kit is
recommended for drag racing and road racing applications that will not see high battery current drain
from cold starts or high power stereos or other accessories.
The LPE battery relocation kit is designed to fit all body styles of the 1997 to 2004 C5 Corvette. The
battery box will accept most stock and aftermarket Corvette batteries but does not accept the larger
and heavier, early style 78H-6YR batteries. The cables in the kit are designed for side post batteries.
If you have a Corvette with the newer top post battery, you will need to change the battery cable
terminal ends, install side post adapters or change to a different battery. Compatible batteries include:
• AC Delco 75-7YR (35.3 lbs)
• AC Delco 75P-7YR (35.3 lbs)
• Optima 8004-0003, model 34/78 (38.8 lbs)
• Optima 8022-091, model 75/35 (33.1 lbs)
