This is a great solution for some type of cargo with much lesser mass. Not to withstand, in the severity of an impact, the freedom movement of a heavy box inside of a moving vehicle.
I will explore more seriously the addition of 2 pieces of angle iron in the cargo area to retain the battery container in one solid location that will be easy to unbolt to gain access to the spare tire.
Personally, I do not care about the doughnut at all, never need it after 125K driving miles.
In the event of a long drive, I do load it behind the driver's seat, in the foot well of the rear passenger as a precaution.
