I just posted this in your post in the General section, but here you are again:

Marc Haibeck does battery relocations for ZR-1s; he puts them in the compartment behind the passenger seat. He also sell a battery relocation kit with all the necessary cables and other items. Here are the links. --Bob

Anybody done corner weights after moving the battery from behind the left front wheel to behind the passenger seat?

I'd like to know how much of a change that makes.

Hib, I'm not sure about actual weight in pounds, but here is Marc's comment from his website. Maybe he checked weight on corners to prove his answer.--Bob

The ZR-1 has a 52 - 48% front to rear weight distribution. Relocating the battery will change the bias by 1 point. The revised weight distribution is 51- 49%, the same as a LT1 Corvette. A lightness is noticeable in the steering at low speeds.
