Sorry to be a bit off-topic, but why go for this configuration? You'll have very little scrub preventing you to turn, therefore making the robot very hard to drive. Why not just go with the standard kitbot, 6-wheel, dropped centre?
As for the battery mounting, just remember that your battery can be used as a form of "ballast" to move your CoG to somewhere else. Other than that, as long as you can securely mount the battery (using tools such as the Battery Base Mount linked earlier from Andymark) and can access it easily, your battery should be fine as long as it is properly maintained.
P.S. While we're talking about batteries, zip tie the leads. They're the next most likely thing to come lose.
