If you look in your trunk, right below the tail lights (inside), =

bolt a decent piece of wood to the back of the car. I then built a box =

really well. Battery is very secure. Note: Mine is an Optima type =
(licensed from them and made by Champion), so I don't have it in a box, =
but this method should be adaptable to boxes.=20
