Default Best place to relocate the battery

Guys,

Im relocating my battery to the inside of the car, but imsure where abouts to put the battery box, do i put it in the boot area beside the wheel well where i will have good access to it or on the diff tunnel where the rear seat was.

Personal i think it would look better on the diff tunnel, but the access is limited due to the cage and buckets seats.

Where would you lot put it?

Oh yeah, grinder in one hand and mig welder in the other,, imo the battery box would look better on the diff tunnel with a nice little stand, and the plumbed in extinguisher (SP) in front of that.
