Default Moving battery to the boot in Sapphire. Worth it?

Worth moving it to the boot? Will it make enough of a difference to be worth it??

Mine sits behind the passenger front seat, but that's only because of the nature of the car.

I like moving the battery, but only if you uprate everything else to suit, and box, secure, and vent it properly.

Unless you HAVE to move it to the boot (need the space for something or roll cage going in), then leave it under the bonnet

Will it make a difference to the weight distribution if in the boot?

Yes it will, but it's like having 15 pints of beer and someone asking you what pint 12 was like
