Battery relocation, is it legal?
Is it in our communist state? Will the tech care?

Re: Battery relocation, is it legal?
Not sure if it's legal or not but, for safety sake, you should install an external cutoff switch in the rear.
But now that I think about it, some cars have them under the seat.
Probably isolated tho.

Thanks, Don. I just thought about this; I guess when It comes time to smog it I could just install the battery back to its original spot. The cutoff switch is a good idea, I hadn't thought about it. Thanks.

You'll want to use a dry cell (Optima-type) if you put it in the interior. No more battery acid or a chance of outgassing.
Or use a Battery Box if you put in a standard, acid-filled battery.
