Default Battery Relocation?

Has anyone relocated the battery in their tC to the trunk? i was wondering if someone could give me a couple pointers on doing this.

Well, since the TC is a hatchback....I would say no. Kinda crazy to have the battery in with the passengers IMO.

Now, that said, you could do it, but you would need a serious case with outside venting just to start. From there, I would put in a junction box in the engine bay and just run your wires back.

Anyone remember the VW's? IIRC, battery was under the rear seat and the air pressure from the spare tire in front is what pressured the washer squirter. Funnest car to drive
