2009 Yukon SLT battery location...why?

[Texastoad]

Anyone know why GMC located the battery where they did? Reason?
Location...passenger side up by firewall???? The size of the battery is smaller that Im use to for a large SUV also.

GM sells or you can make your own wiring to add one to the tray at the front driver side of the engine bay.

My best guess is to counter the weight of the fuel tank.

With slight bending of the battery tray tabs you can fit a group 65 battery in the stock location. Been happy with my setup that way.

2 or 3 years ago I asked the GMC dealer what would be the cost for setting up the second battery.

Labor, wiring, and battery were something like $900+.

Not a simple deal if done properly.
