Doesn't make sense to me to relocate the stock battery.. You are just moving the same big piece of weight around and actually adding more weight to the car from the thick guage wire you are going to have to run..

Best batteries to get are any of the ones made by penn battery company.. This is the manufacturing company that makes Braille batteries. So if you can find big crank, deka, etc... they are identical to Braille.

Braille just offers a longer warranty than the other companies that rebadge the penn batteries. Go with a 20 pound sealed AGM battery and you will be good to go. I'm running the 13 pound in my car and it has to be on a trickle charger to stay charged.

Advance auto parts sells the penn batteries as powercrank 4-wheeler, motorcycle, and boat batteries. Don't be confused by the CCA rating that the manufacturer or retailer publish. Try to find actual testing data on the internet. My battery is rated for 200CCA and it actually tests at well over 380CCA at 70 degrees.
