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 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 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. Optional lighter weight 1 gage battery cables are also available 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)
The LPE sealed battery box is also available separately for custom battery relocation applications.
