Did it on Friday night actually at one of the most unusual places...... in a shopping centre basement carpark.....lol...... [laugh] The whole process took over 3hrs. Started work at around 8pm and finish around 11.20pm..... Sorry I didn't take any pics... The main benefit is improved battery lifespan. Its known that engine bay heat does shorten the lifespan of a battery (just google around). Since engine bay temp is easily 60-70C, putting it in the trunk will reduce temp by well over 20-30C. Hence battery will last longer. Another benefit is perhaps improved weight distribution. No idea about this though. But I think Satria Neo is front heavy since engine and gearbox is in the front. Putting battery Behind will help to reduce ~15KG from the front and add another 15KG to the back. OVerall, there is a 30KG change in weight distribution. Quite alot if you ask me. Hence those Satria Neo owners may want to relocate their batt to the rear. Not a difficult task but time consuming. Need to take out seats. part of the carpet etc.....

Read the below article in Asia One...are people really so niave? They are highly mobile but prefer to relocate than travel 45 mins to work! doesnt make sense? plus commuting time in Europe is on average probably far longer than in Singapore...who write these stupid articles? S'poreans prefer to relocate than travel 45 mins to work WORKERS in Singapore will grumble if they have to commute some distance to work, but they will readily pack their bags and fly to the ends of the earth for the right job, according to a poll by Kelly Services. Two in three of more than 2,000 employees here polled by the recruitment firm said they were not prepared to commute more than 45 minutes each way to work, The Business Times reported yesterday. Nearly eight in 10 of those polled would consider relocating to another country to work. This shows that despite their reluctance to spend more time commuting, Singapore workers are highly mobile when it comes to securing the right job. More than half - 56 per cent - of the workers polled were even ready to uproot and move to unfamiliar territories where they don't speak the local lingo. 'With a more globalised workforce, there is increasingly a recognition that people may have to relocate to find the right work, or to advance their career,' saidMr Dhirendra Shantilal, Kelly's senior vice-president for Asia-Pacific. 'There are many skills that are easily transferable across borders, including in areas such as banking and finance, IT, science and engineering.' Those willing to move, not surprisingly, are in the younger age group of 25 to 34. 'Typically, they have fewer family and other commitments that prevent them from relocating,' said Kelly Services. 'Males were more willing to relocate than females.' It added that 'family' was the overwhelming issue when workers polled were asked to rank the main obstacles for them to work overseas, with 72 per cent citing it as a factor. Other factors were language barriers (49 per cent), children's education (27 per cent), tax complications (24 per cent), property ownership (20 per cent) and pension/super-annuation rights (14 per cent). 'The finding that many workers are willing to be highly mobile in their search for work is good news for employers,' Kelly said. 'At a time of relative skills shortage, globally, targeting employees from another city or internationally can be one of the most effective ways of filling gaps in the labour market.' Some 13 per cent of the workers polled said that they had already relocated to a country where they did not speak the language to find the right job.
