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?

even if the calculations were that simple (they aren't) you're still adding at least 5 lbs with appropriately sized cables and a box to move a small bit of the weight balance to the rear when you could achieve the same effective result by using a 5-7 lb battery up front and also reduce the overall weight of the car.
