[QUOTE="SCARNG2011, post: 417340, member: 11953"] When we cut the foam (half the foam still in the bench compartment), we cut it so the batteries were tight when seated... they can't really move up or down very easily. But your comment about when trailering got me thinking that you had a point... one good pot hole and there might be a chance that the batteries come in contact with the lid of the seat. I probably won't put a box underneath, but instead weld a hinge and a steel tab that crosses over each battery. Then weld a resting bracket of some kind on the opposite side with holes for a screw and nut to hold in place (allow for battery removal down the road) Here's a rough sketch of the idea [/QUOTE]
