Nice, with a few issues.

In addition to those raised by Chris and Tom, using the AM Battery mount kit like this may not properly secure the battery. It is designed to fit inside the AM14U2/3 end sheet, which is basically a piece of 3" channel. Even after you put in the bungee, the battery would be free to rotate around a horizontal axis running left-to-right. That is, the bottom could come forward, and the top go back. Once it rotates a little bit, it's free to slide right out either way (though most likely forward onto the belly pan). Another bar like the one at the top placed at the bottom would resolve this.
