some one said if want to do it... i must earth it every metre or so...

Battery relocation

A good idea is to run the same size ground from the battery negative to the factory ground point in the engine bay(Copper is a better conductor than spot welded steel.)
That has been enough for all the electronics on my R32, to reinforce your standard grounding points is not a bad Idea, but a point at every meter is a bit over kill.
A good negative is far superior than multiple half job ones.

Ive relocated mine. Cant remember which cable i used. The voltage meter showed something like 11 point something volts when car was switched off. Cant realy remember to well actualy its been a while. But had no problems.
If you are fitting a front mounted intercooler fine but otherwise why move it to the back? Batteries also need to have proper ventilation as they discharge hydrogen gas when getting charged. I would rather run the incooler pipes another way and not go through the battery box or get one of thos 1/2 size batteries like some of the hondas has or similar. your choice though and yes put it in a proper battery box so acid etc does not go everywhere ruining everything.

regardless of the above mentioned. dont u guys slide ur cars around alot or is that a sx misconception. batteries are quite heavy and to be chukd about from side to side aint to safe for the battery and its contents as well as the car even if the thing is clamped down.

Proper car audio batteries are fully sealed, and can even be mounted upside down, that is what I have used.
oddessy or optimer battery will do... but the price tag
