Love this write up. I am not going to relocate the battery but is looking forward to doing the fuse box addition and tidy up the engine bay. This is a great reference.

Looks great; 10X better than what we normally see.
The only thing I would have done diffrently was run the cable down the driver's door sill under the carpet, jump into the b-pillar and and then across to the passenger bin and the battery. The cable would be better protected that way IMO. Kudos to the gratuitous use of zip ties to dress the cable though.

An excellent installation, and an excellent job of documenting it.
Thanks for taking the extra time for the pics and well thought out text.
Not only bookmarked, but saved to disk and backed up, so I will be sure
to have a copy for my winter battery project.
