Can just use thick copper cables to link right? Most of car boots are quite big, definitely can box up a small area with enclosure for safety. And the engine bay is now less cluttered so other engine parts can have lower temperature so can last longer. Win win for all haha. But it will definitely void the warranty of the cars so not possible for those newer cars. Really curious why this is not done by engineers designing cars. Anyone has insight on this? My Toyota car battery is in the boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
