Brief Description:  Battery install and starter wire

I started by crimping the end on the #2 awg starter wire. Unfortunately running this big wire through the conduit wasn't happening. I was sort of thinking about abandoming the conduit anyway for the fat wires because if this get really hot I'll have a built in smoke generator from all the plastic. So I removed the conduit that I spent an hour installing weeks ago and installed grommets. I'll also put in adels at the appropriate locations. Next I installed the battery box and and moved the battery relay (on the back of the battery box) to one side and then back again before settling on where it was when I started - urghh more wasted time, but necessary sometimes.
I put the starter lead onto the battery contactor and then started fabricating battery wire to contactor lead before I ran out of time.
