I've seen many engine bay pics with the battery missing. Where did it go? Do Mondeos have a different battery location or something? I've tried to figure it out but I'm puzzled.  I'm sure there's a how-to or something I missed on search... I'll get my chops busted for sure! I'd like to move mine if possible. Any help appreciated!

You just through u'r battery in the passenger seat, then solder jumper cables to the battery cables and run it to the battery. Now you have a driving companion that corrodes and always has some acid you can share. Try a relocation kit from various companies.

I'm pretty sure the "kit" consists of basically a battery box (much like the one on your sump pump battery backup, if you have such a thing) and the necessary cables. They are probably all about the same, so I'd go for best price. Unless, of course, you plan to do club racing, or just want the metal box that club racing requires. Summit Racing sells both kinds, and their pricing is usually reasonable, but you can check around.

what would be the pros and cons of a battery reposition kit?
Would the wires be travelling in through the interior? And what would the minimum gauge be?
Any serious hazards to this?
