Cathy, have you considered buying a lightweight Braille battery and
mounting it in the stock location instead?  I bought a 11.5lb. Braille
from Scott Williams a couple years ago, and I swear by them.  I
actually just bought their super beefy 21 lb. 'extreme' battery for my
mTDI Caddy to make room for the water/methanol injection system and
intercooler piping.

Moving the battery to the back actually increases the weight of your
car when you consider all that extra (heavy) cable...

Later,

Mark.
