Hello Tom,
I guess the issue I'm most concerned with is the sealing vs. venting. If the batteries are just strapped down, they will vent into the aft end of the engine area and cockpit lockers. Since it is an acid, that may be an issue. So maybe I should put them in boxes and vent the boxes outside? All the other things you mentioned will be tended to, Thanks!
Fred

Hi Fred,
Do you have any specific questions we can help you with?
At a minimum, batteries need to be restrained, potential electrolyte spills need to be contained, and ungrounded battery terminals need to be insulated.
Battery boxes are one of the ways to do this.
