Joe, I just added a start battery under Touché's aft dinette seat. I had replaced the rigid fresh water tank with a bladder tank years ago. I slid the tank outboard to create space for the battery. The install can be seen here:

I think 2 might maybe fit the standard battery compartment, but they might be too high. No way 4 fit in there. Also that is not including the battery containers, which are needed for wet cells. I also think I have enough extra weight on that side already with the water tank. I have thought of: Starboard under the dinette seat up by the mast: Lots of room, but lots of wire to run and that brings acid and fumes right under someone’s head/butt. Good side is the weight is in the near-ideal place. In the port cockpit locker: Pretty good place with short wire runs, but maybe not the best place for the weight. Also obviously takes away from useful storage. Starboard cockpit locker someplace: This is the good side of the boat for weight, but low down near the engine blocks access I use all the time to work on the back end of the engine. Any ideas?
