What is up with that battery cover in the trunk!! Why is the battery enclosed in "Fort Knox"??!!! The screws were a ***** to open and they had to have 5 of them??? The battery was dead and I had to charge. Does the cover need to be on and why enclose it like that? Thanks!

There is a post under the hood for charging/jumping the battery....
Your right in everything you said about the battery cover. Take out their screws and put in your own bolts and nuts,
or you will always have this problem. In fact I just lay my cover on top now with no screws, etc. and put the rug over it. I hear no rattling or noise ----no problems.

My 95 Viper required taking the driver side rear tire off to change the battery 
...Changing the screws is a good idea but leaving the cover off is not. If you ever drive in the rain or even wash the car, water splash will get in the trunk....Besides, you only have to take that cover off once or twice in the life time of your Viper....
