Yes, im pretty sure its legal....some new cars (e.g. epica's) have battery's in the boot.

it is ok to do but it must be a dry cell, boxed and have a venting pipe leading to the out side of the car.

It doesn't have to be a dry cell from what I have seen/been told ... But it does have to be ventilated...

If you decide to move the battery to the boot, it MUST be a sealed type (eg gel cell like Optima) for safety reasons. No need for ventilation with a sealed battery. Needs to be engineered too. Also has to have a fused 2 gauge cable.
