I say do it, if for nothing else than to distribute weight better. Did one on a friends car last year with high gauge cable, from a welder I believe, plonked the battery in the spare wheel well with one of those trays from “custom fab” and it works a treat! I’m probably going to do mine at some point but under the battery tray isn’t the prettiest so I’m putting it off
