No problem. The kit with a box Summit sells for $40 is a good deal, but the box is pretty big. That's the one I have.

hehehe..hey!..i weigh about the same as a car battery so if i relocate it in the passenger side bin the car would still have the 50/50 weight distribution.

Seriously though. I dont think it will make that much difference if you relocate your battery in the storage bin.

it''ll make it better, having weight between the tires is way better then infront or behind them.

don't bother with the box it won't fit anywhere. a nice gel battery like opitama (Sp?) will fit in the rear bin and doesn't require one. make sure you have a fuse breaker close to the battery and use no smaller then 4 gauge wire. 2 or 0 would be better. get a nice ground in the back near the battery.
