Battery compartment redo
Good idea.

I installed in the original charger bay which required heavier cables
to offset the possible voltage drop, still saw a drop close to 1/2v
at 130a draw (running roof A/C). Part of that was factory alternator
cables however, later upgraded.

Pre- '95 PT charger/inverter installations present another challenge,
no clean location for the inverter behind the rear axle. I've seen a
couple of installations in the bedroom and rear closet.
