HI, a few things to remember about a lead acid type battery, "sealed" or not, is when being charged they emitt hydrogen gas, one of their traits. being "closed" up in a console just might not be the best thing. The gas is deadly and very explosive. Another thing to know is that they don't like alot of pounding, shifting about somewhat violently. The further you move them FWD the more action, so to speak, they will see. I've had my 19 outrage "burried", not on purpose!!, and with no problems. I can see the point on moveing the weight FWD, but just a few things to think about. My 2 cents.......
