Hi Guys!
Putting a battery in the rear is not that complicated. You really don't need to fabricate a panel for it or go to extremes. All you need is to go to a marine supply house and get an auxiliary battery kit for about $30. You will need to increase the power wire size due to the extra 10-15 feet and add an ANL type line fuse to protect the long length of wire. Other than that, it is very simple and can be placed in the lower package tray where the A/C handler unit goes. Most of our rods have the battery either under the back seat or in the trunk.
