I have my OEM battery in the trunk. It's been in there for probably almost a year now with no issues. Some people say water filled batteries are dangerous due to fumes, but I'm still alive and well. I plan on upgrading to a lighter weight battery in the future, probably sealed just to be safe. I have a write up in the How-To section about relocating the battery to the trunk, you should check it out.
