r8 battery

[Ben Twilly]

Is the battery up front like with porsche or in the back? If we were to wire device from the dash to the battery is it difficult? thanks

I think it's in the front? And wire whatever it is to the fuse box I think thats what most people do

Yes, the battery's up front.

Access to the leads are behind the little panel in the back wall of the trunk (boot). It slides one direction or the other about half an inch (12mm) or so and it then pops out.

What are you trying to wire in?

If it's something that doesn't require much more than 10 amps, you can directly wire into the fuse panel. There are a couple of switched (ignition activated) open slots in it.



All you need to do is put a spade plug on the +12v lead that you're attempting to hook up. Just make sure that what ever you plug in or run power to has an inline fuse.
