Im confused with all this talk of battery location... regardless of where you put it (outside of the passenger compartment) it runs the risk of being impacted on when a collision occurs.
If we are to suggest that it is MORE dangerous to have a battery in the boot, are we suggesting that there are MORE boots involved in accident impacts than engine compatments? Are there a large number of persons driving around in reverse running into things?
Im very scared now... All these cars and hoon drivers reversing post-haste!
