Spec boxster's have to keep the battery in the stock location but almost every other type of boxster or 996 race car I've seen moves it to a lower position in the car. The optimal place on a boxster is in the passenger foot well from what I've heard. A lot of them move it down in the frunk. That's where I moved mine and I put it right in front of the spare tire. You're only extending the cables 2 feet at best. That won't cause electrical issues. Heck, people have been relocating batteries to the trunk for decades. Many many vehicles have the battery located in a very vulnerable spot with only a little bit of sheet metal protecting it. I've bought quite a few cars where the battery was crushed in the accident. No fire. If you don't believe me, go on copart.com and you'll see thousands of cars/trucks with crushed batteries and no fire
