I have two cars with batteries mounted in the trunk, one is a race  car.  On 
my race car, I'd recommend getting a sturdy bracket from Summit or  Jegs  that 
has 3 sides to it.  I always ran a dry cell and just  converted to a 16 volt 
dry cell, so no fumes.  On my weekend car, I have a  regular battery bracket 
that you can get a Pep Boys that is only a bottom  plate.  I run a Interstate 
battery and never had any fumes.  Just make  sure you run a hold down bracket.  
I use 1 guage and 0 guage cables and  ground it to my scattershield.  I think 
the guage and ground cable is  critical to alleviate any starting problems.
 
Good Luck.

Does  anyone have their battery mounted in the trunk of their car, for 
whatever  purpose (weight distribution for racing, to clean up the engine 
compartment,  etc)?

If so, are there any problems or difficulties with having it  mounted there?

I'm considering mounting mine there, if for no other  reason than to clean up 
the engine compartment.  I've heard though that I  need to beware of venting 
issues, anyone have any knowledge of  this?

Summit has a trunk mount battery kit for about 40 bucks that I'm  looking at 
getting.
