i think it's going to be tough, but manageable. on the '99 and up sonata it is not a standard positive-negative connection. the positive side looks like it's got some touchy wires that cannot be cut and spliced. also, i think the remote start system (if applicable) will be tricky to go around. good luck.

Just get a set of jumper cables and clip ome end to the battery terminals and the other to the factory leads.

Now that i have looked at it a litle more i think that if i did move the battery there is a lot more room in my car for a cai (homemade of course) and then room for other things eventually (super/turbo) mabey in the future...

you need a big diameter cable to go to trunk...

And you must put the battery in a sealed case to keep in the acid it if overflow or whatever

on this link there's not sealed case

looks difficult, but that extra space in the engine bay is worth it.
