im guessing either for weight transfer or for looks, moving the batt clears alot of space

well the weight distribution helps in anything. i just hate the lowered voltage and the miles of extra cable you have to run

if you locate a battery to your trunk shouldnt yo run a sealed battery that has a vent tube or a gell cell battery due to the gases

I was all about moving the battery to the trunk…Then I realized the mile of cable you have to run + the kill switch + battery box + full size battery weighs a ton…simple soultion is I can run a 10-15lb light weight battery up front…
