Many years ago, I did the same thing on the normal-size battery box in my 2002 TM. There was apparently no support below it. When the trailer met a traffic bump or a curb (I wasn't the driver, I don't know which), the battery box dropped through the aluminum skin of the lower floor, pulled down the pan, and onto the asphalt. Be aware!
