The cables certainly can't be heavy enough to offset the battery. And part of the cables will lead onto the rear side of the car.
2760 lbs
55% is 1518 and 45% is 1242.
What happens when you shift a 30+ lb battery from front to rear?
54% is 1490.4 and 46% is 1269.6
The balance is increase to 54/46 instead of 55/45.
How much weight does the cable add? Like less than 5 lbs?
