battery relocation question

[rocco_crossing@hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

So, is a dry cell the same as a deep cycle? Or are they different and what 
is the best to run in our cars.

ALSO, I am thinking of putting my bettery where the back passenger seat 
would be inorder to counter my wieght and balance the car better while 
autoXing. What would be the best way to attach the box and where to run the 
vent?


Peace Out,
Rhett
