Attached is a solution that allows battery placement up into the console storage floor without cutting and dropping the battery to the deck. I wanted to maintain a clean deck that didn't collect debris. Angles are aircraft grade aluminum 6061-T6 and through bolted with massive fender washers. The plywood was slightly bowed so tightening the bolts every month or two has returned the plywood to flat. The middle angle is not parallel to the others due to old penetrations.
