Stock Battery Group 35/ CCA 360

I used a battery holder box that comes with the top and a strap to hold the battery down in the trunk.

I have all the hatch plastics out so put the battery near the right wheel well where the factory jack goes. I used self tapping screws to hold down the battery box.

I then used a 4 gauge jumper cables running all the way to the back. Ran it through my wiring harness hole and under my door sills to the hatch. I just utilized my old ground and positive from the engine bay. I just connected the jumper cables to the positive and one to the negative and ran it back and hooked the other ends of the jumper to the battry as if it were in the engine bay.

For some reason it takes longer to turn the car over then before. I don't know whats causing the lack of power. I was thinking its because the battery is all the way in the back, but as long as my car starts thats all that matters.
