Backup/second battery location

So my 14A will have an efii system so I'm looking for a place to install a full sized back up battery. I want to use two Earth X batteries. The earth X battery box fits pretty well where the original battery box goes. I'm searching for the 2nd location and have come up with a couple of options on the firewall. Putting links to the two locations I'm considering here. Sorry I don't know how to post pics direct from Google. I usually Halie which appears blank atm (I messaged Bill).

Upper firewall location

Lower firewall location

Thoughts? I'm preferring the location on the upper firewall above one of the pass throughs if its safe.

Here is how one RV-14A builder added a second PC-680 battery.

I haven't decided this myself yet. I've seen the picture Carl posted, but that location won't work if you're building an RV-14 (tailwheel)
