In an effort to clean up my engine bay I have decided to put my battery in the trunk. I already have some nice 2 gauge wire running back there that will be sufficent for what I need. I do know what needs to be done, and I have the circuit breakers required for it. My only question for those who have done this is, do I need to put it in any type of protective enclosure or have is secured down in a certain way(besides preventing it from moving)? Also is there a specific kind of battery that needs to be used? I have an Optima Red Top, it is a gel cell battery so I can mount it anywhich way. And if it only needs to be held down by some type of strap or bar, where would I find the correct mounting hardware?

I think those are the only questions I have. Thanks in advance.

PS I want to maintain any NHRA legality if that changes anything.
