Re: Legal Counterweights
It would probably be ruled unsafe by inspectors and disallowed. The batteries are sealed lead acid and have the potential to explode if a cell is damaged or ruptured. One of the easiest ways to rupture a battery is for it to see a hard impact, such as dropping it. By mounting the battery as your counterweight, you are necessarily lifting it up high and putting it through a rapid motion path which could cause it to come loose or collide with something.
