Battery relocation

[koabi.brooks at gmail.com (Koabi Brooks)]

I had my battery in the trunk for a while.  The main issue was I used 0
gauge (?) 6 strand that didnt bend well.  I put a grommet in the firewall
but it soon started getting chewed up.  I started to get paranoid because I
obviously didn't want any shorting and got a small battery and put it up
front.
