Everything from the various Li battery threads applies.

Except if your flammable battery sets your car on fire, you may not get an insurance pay out.
I'll never get an insurance payout since I don't insure my car (liability only insurance). I'd mount the battery in a fire-resistant bag away from flammable parts.
