Re: Moving Battery to trunk
The boat battery boxes won't pass tech. inspection at a NHRA drag strip for trunk mounted batteries. Has to be a sealed and ventillated box either metal or heavy plastic and with through bolts anchoring to the frame or floor (no "J" hold down bolts). They also want you to have an external battery cut off switch accessable outside the trunk to turn off all juice in case of an accident. Mine is actually inside the trunk as I couldn't bring myself to cut a big hole in the car to mount the switch. So far they have still let me run anyway, but they do sometimes admonish me.
