Message	Been thinking about relocating the battery to the hatch to take some weight off the front end and clean up the engine bay. I've heard only get dry batteries. Others have said wet is fine as long as it's secured. Then others say it needs to vent and others say their setup isn't vented and they're fine. I plan on driving my Z and tracking it a little, so I need something that is suitable for both. I had optima red top and I gave up on those because it dies if you don't drive your car all the time and they cannot be recharged. What experience/ suggestions/ recommendations do you guys have?
