AutoMobile Digest
A couple reasons. With the complexity of today's car engines the engine compartment can get pretty crouded....... 1. Save space in the engine compartment.
2 it is cooler in the trunk of the car. Cooler temps can help prolong the battery life.
3. If the car is a rear wheel drive vehicle, the extra weight in the back of the car can help with traction.
4. On some vehicles they have the battery under the rear seat i.e. BMW, which does this for weight distribution purposes and helps cornering abilities.
