Relocating the battery in the rear would increase the battery life by about 8 months to a year. The heat under the hood is a killer of batteries.
Placing the battery under the cargo mat in the foam tray with a nice wire to the front may be an option. Raising the mat by about an inch if required would be no problem. Ventilation for gases may be a problem if required. I'll investigate this problem.
