Moving p500 battery to front hood???!!!???

If going through the hassle, just add a second battery. The days of jumper cables are over with one of these.

With all the mower, boat, atvs and SxS batteries to keep healthy, this combination for home and away use works for me.

I have the same Ctek you have but I use a Beatit G18 2000 amp jumper pack instead of the GB40 that you use.
Beatit offered a free portable air compressor when I bought the battery pack which I carry all the time in the P500.

I used the Ctek mainly to rejuvenate some older batteries once a year....and 4 of these
Battery Tender 12 Volt Junior Automatic Battery Chargers, 2 for riding lawn mowers, 1 for the P500 and 1 for the 1965 CJ5.

I'm happy with all these items...and consider them must haves.

I did the simple route when running 6 gauge wire for the winch, power steering and accessories. Mounted posts on the upper cross member just left of center. A 300 amp switched breaker for circuit safety is mounted on the frame behind the passenger seat. I jumpered the ground to the under hood frame, but some have run a separate ground back to the battery.

18 inches of water will cause more problems then a wet battery. That level of water is pretty much over the seat and into the airbox.
