That'd be to do with PD and voltage drop over distance and thickness of cable. a long starter motor postive cable would get hot and not spin the starter as fast.

Question

Not worried about voltage drop as that can be got around but wondered if with all the panels in place it would be physically possible to get a battery in and out of that space.

i think it would be possible with a small battery, however i would not think it a wise plan since it would be right next to the fuel tank.... fuel vapor from the vent + spark = whizz whizz bang or in the case of a rear end accident could be trouble. i now both of these are unlikely but i dont think mr IVA man would like it on those grounds after all you have to keep the fuel lines and the cables separate in the trans tunnel, would kind of defeat the object if you put the battery next to the tank.
