Default battery pack placement for ignition

Hello, I installed a larger engine on my Wildhare extra and I'm going to place the battery pack for radio power in the tail for weight in the back to get proper cg. My question is, can I put the ignition battery in the back, but on the other side of the fuse away from the radio pack. It will be about 3 inches from the radio pack. The power wire from the ignition pack will pass about 1 inch from a servo as it's routed to the front. Only the battery will be back there, not the ignition module. Does the power wire to the ignition pack cause interference too? Doesn't seem like it would due to it being direct current dc rather than alternating current ac, and it is not the actual module and the plug wire that causes the interference, so what y'all think? If can put the ignition pack in the back, that will be a lot less parasitic weight added to proper cg the plane. Maybe wrap the power wire with something, any help please, thanks Randy
