changing batery location

[German guy]

Anyone out there consider moving the battery to a more accessible location (1930 Tudor)...such as under the hood? Ideas...anyone?


Also...based on a recent roadside ignition failure apparently caused by the add-on fuse at the starter motor...all power went out to all lights when that 10 amp fused failed. Not great for safety if that happened when it is dark ...no blinkers or lights of any kind worked. Considering adding a discreet 4-6 fuse box to the car to keep lights working even when the fuse on the starter fails. Suggestions? Location? Is there a reason why that fuse is on the starter instead of anywhere else? Should I simply (probably a bad word choice) eliminate the starter fuse and wire the battery main wire (negative) to the fuse box with a fuse for the starter...or is a fuse for the starter even necessary as it does not protect the starter itself? That fuse shuts down everything except the starter...including the ignition coil...so even though the starter turns there can be no spark.
