The location of the new battery box is shown in the embedded video (above). This should be an ideal location on account the center of gravity will be kept low.

Has anyone installed a battery box in this location before? It will be mounted on a fiberglass keel hanging from the downtube.

I will keep you all posted .
Can't access your video but imagine you're talking about a mount in about the same place as a third bottle cage on a touring bike. I don't see any issues but think an off-the-shelf bottle cage and battery would be a lot simpler.
