What is Battery Position?
Most cars allow you to adjust the position of your battery pack, whether it’s front-to-back or side-to-side. Doing this can change the balance and handling characteristics of your car.
In off-road, weight jacking can also cause your buggy or truck to jump differently.
You should also check your ride height once you’ve moved the battery location in your car.
