You all beat me to it. My battery is still in the original location and I see no good reason to move it. Besides, its an Optima 6-volt. Other than needing to borrow it from time to time to run the Farmall Super A, I really haven't needed to do much at all under there in the 12 years I've now had the Optima. The negative lead popped off once but 20 seconds with the 9/16ths fixed that.
