Default Pictures of battery relocation to trunk??

Anyone have pictures of their relocated batteries in their trunk? I'm thinking about moving it back there and would like some ideas. What kits are you guys using?

I want to keep my t-top space in the trunk. I haven't done any measurements but I would like to find somewhere other than the t-top area or spare tire well. Thanks.

I believe it will fit on the drivers side in the rear. Not sure if you have the cd changer or not but I've heard of someone putting it there.

I added a second battery on my 98 ta to the driver's side cubby area in the back. On my current ta, I added a second battery under my speaker enclosure on the passenger side rear. No kits, or anything, 0guage wire running from the front to back, a 200 amp breaker on both ends, grounded the rear battery to the frame rail underneath the car. Used a piece of aluminum plate and a couple of really long bolts to hold it down. here's some pics. http://www.mobius1.net/gallery/galle...s.php?album=18

assuming you mean the greenish-white corrosion that forms over time, nope. Quality metals go a long way.
