Built a wood support for the battery box last week. Essentially a wood frame that sits on the floor between the plastic battery box and the floor so that the battery weight is on the floor rather than outer skin. I fastened mine to the lower tray of the battery box so it lifts out as one piece. The top of the plastic battery box simply screws down into the frame I built. Result is no more weight on the outer skin of the TM. The original engineering design of the battery box cut-out really leaves a lot to be desired and is kind of surprising to me. I would think a larger battery would begin to push right through the floor skin after riding over a few bumpy roads.
