Get a battery try put it in your trunk use a big gauge wire find where the positive cable gos. Probably one to the the starter one to the alternator and one the the under hood fuse box. Hook them all up to your big gauge wire to the positive terminal. Hook the ground up to a good part of the frame clean off the paint where you hook it up.

why do you need to relocate the battery? if you plan to do so, the only option is the trunk. If your placing the batt in the trunk, 20 - 25 feet of 0/1 gauge is needed. also 5 feet of 0/1 gauge and O-ring terminals for your connections.

just know that relocating your battery to your trunk makes it difficult for you to race on the track because the have safety rules about it.
it really makes no sense unless you're doing it got an alarm. otherwise, you're not saving that much weight and you won't go any faster.

i agree, running 0gauge in a 97 accord isnt the easiest job. the wire is too large to fit down the side panels. if you wish to do it, the wires will need to run down the center consol AND you must drill a hole in the firewall. no grommet in that cafr can hold a 0gauge.
