You are allowed one. Doesn't even count against your weight allowance.
Place it where it does the most good. Also where it is not likely to be damaged. Last year's CD discussion does not count for this years rules. 2015 rules are very clear though. Only one SLA battery on the robot. Sorry, off on the weight. Must come from years of breathing leaded gas fumes.
On a serious note, although solid lead does not pose much risk, chemical exposure in general can have short & long term effects. Avoiding unessesary exposure & using the right PPE is really important. The brain you save might be your own.
