Is it possible the battery tray is modified?
I will try to take and post a clean photo of the battery tray sometime soon.

This has been discussed at the C-car forum, there are 2 setups that can be a problem.
1. Car was 36 volt (not enough room for 9 batteries)
2. Car was designed for the "Olde Fashioned" 6 volt trojan t105 battery size which is skinnier than a normal 6 volter today.
As a side note Citicars never came with 8 volt batteries from the factory only 6v with one 12 volt aka 9 batteries
The easiest solution if your car is one of those categories is to build a front battery box and bolt it on the front or rear bumper (or both)
My car has space for 14 batteries
6 up front
4 under the seat and 4 in the rear box.
I probably would break the springs if I did that though.
Good Luck
