Hey all, i was thinking about trying a battery relocation to the trunk. For the purpose of helping with our awkward weight ratio's, and make some more space in the engine bay. has anyone else tried this? any pictures of those who have? sorry if this is a waste, i didnt see much from the search on this.

I put my battery under the drivers side seat, Just bought a slim one (has to be fully sealed battery, so either a sealed lead acid or gell cell) that keeps the weight in the middle of the car and as low as possible. Plus being under the seat it doesn't take up boot space

I would love to see a picture of this setup. Shorter wiring, closer to the engine bay, hidden battery... Sounds like a good relocation, pending the availability and cost of slim batteries in certain areas for certain members.
