The problem with that is being mounted that high and that far back in the chasis it has a pendulum effect, not to mention the extra cable weight. You wanna keep as much of the weight as possible within the wheelbase, as low as possible, and position it strategically to help corner weight the car. There is really no point to relocating the battery at all unless you are serious about weight management. If you need space for an intercooler pipe just get a smaller battery, if the tray is all rusted out just weld in a better one with a lighter battery and you'll be good. Shit you could even bolt something in to support it.
