Battery next to engine
How close can a battery be next to an engine?
If its very close (less than 10mm) what problems would it cause?

Heat is bad for batteries.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Could you fit a smaller battery and a heat shield of some kind?

The battery in my TT is about 8" from the cylinder head and boost pipes run underneath it.. needless to say it gets too hot to comfortably
touch..... presumably the Audi Engineers knew what they were doing when they put it there ?!?
