I conducted a search on this topic but came up short, unless Im loosing it, I know Ive seen past posts. What all is involved and what materials do I need? What are the downsides to this, for those that have done it? Thanks in advance!

I think i have seen something about it some where also.
What about relocating them both to the tool box? stacking them on a custome made shelf? That would be cool. I think all you would need would be a big enough cable. My local contractor supply sells it by the foot.
I relocated 2 yellow top Optimas to a custom made mount under the bed on the outside of the frame,pass side,between the axle & cab.Man, it REALLY cleaned up under the hood! Lots of room for whatever.

You could get the side mount battery boxes Ford puts on the Econolines. They put one battery under the hood, and one mounted on the frame under the side doors.

Brian, do you think (Im not an electrician) that the long cables (I have an extended cab) would lead to voltage drop/heat build up by placing my batteries back there? Im looking at about six to seven feet of cable.
