If you lift the bed, you will see that there is a flat wood panel over the top of the compartment, so you are not supposed to have access to the compartment from inside the TM. However, as I recall, the panel is some kind of thin (1/8"?) plywood, stapled into place, that would be easy to remove and replace. The only complication might be the electrical cutoff switch. Memory says that it might be mounted in the panel, but I could be wrong about that. Worst case, a quick cut with a skillsaw would detach a piece the panel, leaving it and the switch in place.
A bigger problem might be that even with access from the top, the battery is still way off center. You would be reaching across the collapsed bathroom wall to get at it.
