Movin the battery to the trunk
Gonna do it looked at the kits to do it but then in the Jegs catalog noticed that thet have a completely sealed box to vent battery gasses outside the car something I never thought of in a hatchback. To anyone that has done this are you worried about battery gasses in the car?

I'm fixin' to do it, but I'm going to get a decent sealed battery (Exide Orbital) so I don't think it'll be a big deal...
Anyways, the sealed boxes dont vent the gasses anywhere... it's just a sealed box...

Get an optima battery and you dont need the box and you can mount it in ANY position you want! because there are no gasses or anything to leak!
