I did this a few months ago for my Verde.
I went to a boating store and bought about 15' of the thickest marine grade cable they had for the postive lead. I also bought a marine battery box. At the autoparts store I bought a 3' negative lead and some very large ring terminals.
I ran the negative cable to the chasis in the trunk. For the positive I stripped the wire, and with a torch I tinned the end of the wire and the inside of the ring terminals. I sliped the terminals on gave 'em a squeeze then heated them up with the torch again to solder the two togther. I then wrapped the connections with self-sealing tape (works better than standard electrical tape.)
To mount the box in the trunk I riveted the supplied brackets to the floor with some monel rivets I had laying around (corrosion resistant and very strong... I use them on my sailboat.) Thread the supplied strap through the brackets and cinch it down tight.
I lost a fair amount of trunk space, but it's nice not having it in the engine bay.
