1.)The designers of the AS probably did know what they were doing when
they put the battery in the back hatch.
There are two reason to stick with the original design. One is that the heavy wires are
there, you don't have to pull new ones or worry about any changes. The second is that a battery
inside will work better than a battery outside in cold weather. There are two possible solutions
to the worries about fumes. One is to purchase a vented battery box, which are avaibable on the
internet, just google it. The second is to buy one of the new, sealed batterys, just make sure
you have a modern charger that will not overcharge it or your money will be down the drain.
