true, if what you're after is weight distribution. even then, you are moving only 13 lbs (lightweight battery weight) to the rear and distributing the added weight of the cables over the length of the car. this would make more sense if you are moving a stock battery (33 lbs iirc?) from front to rear.

if it is weight savings you want, then just replacing the battery with a race battery is the way to go imo.
