Moving Battery

Im looking to move the battery into the rear end of my xA. Anybody know if i can exchange this battery for a different size and if i run the power from the back, would it screw up my engine somehow???

Moving the battery should not affect the engine. Check past TN threads at the bottom of this page for info on what others have done.

Whan buying a new battery of a different size you have to make sure of just ONE thing. make sure the voltages and amps are of the same size as your old battery. Too much and you'll fry wiring. Too little and you know what will happen.

Acura integra's use cute little batteries. Check out the size of something like that and see what you can do.
