I'm thinking about relocating my battery just because I don't have a tie-down, heh.

Besides freeing up space in the engine bay, what other advantages are there to relocating the battery?

by moving the mass closer to the center of gravity you are reducing the polar inertia of the vehicle.



i.e. it will rotate easier.
