Battery Placement

[panda24619]

so we all know the battery is up front. i want a yellow top. thats easy to change out. but is it hard to more the battery to the rear behind the 3rd row seat? just wondering. i know its easy to do on older rangers and ive seen some f150s with it in the bed too but is it hard to do it to an expedition. i probably wouldnt do it my self have a shop do it but is it an option?

Don't Beemers have their batteries in the trunk? If you do it, just make sure to have thick enough cabling to carry the current the distance (the shop should know about this.)

Might also want to do what the Beemers do and have a positive post in the engine compartment so you can jump the Expy "the normal way" in case the battery dies.

yeah beemers have that. my neighbors new beemer also dosent have a dipstick to check the oil. haha i just want it back there for weight and so i dont have to run such long cable for my amp/s. ill have them run 0 gauge or even 00 gauge or bigger if they can get it just to be on the safe side. but the alternator cable is going to be the funn one to run.
