FLOL! 10kg of battery during 1G of braking force means it'll be exerting a force of 650N on that battery box... That's like a person standing on it... Maybe won't rip it off.
But say you have a crash at 30mph and you hit a dead stop in 1ft, that's a deceleration of 294m/s^2 on a 10kg battery that's a force of 2940N = 299kg - that's like hanging two XUDs from the battery box...
Read: The battery is joining you, probably clonk you on the back of the head with roughly the same force. However that won't be decelerating within 1ft, more like 0.2 foot... Meaning a deceleration rate of 1474m/s^2 on that same 10kg battery means it's gonna hit your head with a force of 14740N = 1503kg.
Get some bloody washers on those bolts, you might have a chance of it not smacking you in the back during a crash.
Hate to say it too, I wouldn't trust most garages/MOT stations to wash my pants, let alone give me advice on whether a mounting for a battery in the interior is safe or not...
