Re: 4kq battery relocation

[jackr@internet.kronos.com]

Several emails of late have discussed moving the battery to the
trunk.  I would vote for putting it under the rear seat, favoring as
low a center of gravity for the car as possible, vs. favoring weight
as rearward as possible.  I can't remember the exact wording,
but the original Audi marketing for the urq listed the battery location
as being at the center of the moment of inertia, or some such thing.
It sounded convincing to me, plus you won't lose any trunk space,
which is not plentiful in a 4k.  (I guess the ideal might be under the
car near your rear differential.)
