Default Which side for the battery?

G'Day Guys,

Just about to mount my battery in the boot of the XE.....

Engine torque rolls the body right and plants the rear left harder.....so to help balance this out, do I mount the battery on the left side or on the right to add more weight to the drivers side?

I've been over thinking this! and everywhere I read there's a big split on the issue.

Thanks.
