While I am new to the Camry scene, I have performed the battery relocation before. I will see if I can help.

For starters, you will need 3 pieces (2 long, 1 short) of 1 guage or 0 guage cable, a marine battery box, probably a battery cutoff switch and you may need to replace a cable on the starter relay, I am not sure about that.

The cable SHOULD be run outside the vehicle and away from fuel and brake lines.

Typically you will get the best deals buying cable from a welding supply company and you will have to install the cable end yourself. Not too hard, just need a propane torch, shrink tubing, cable ends and die electric grease.

A side benefit is if you install the battery on the driver side rear, you will get a weight shift that may improve the handling of the car. This being a counterweight to the driver weight up front.

Let me say this, be sure to ground the battery REALLY well or you will be chasing electrical gremlins FOREVER!

I hope this helps...
