Battery Behind Seats: Thoughts?

[steve aleve]

So I have recently done an S10 swap on my 54 3100 and I have placed the battery behind the seat. I recently acquired a leather 3 piece bench for the truck and wanted to see if anyone has had good / bad / other experience with storing the battery behind the seat? Will the acid in the air affect the seats? Is it dangerous to keep here? Am I over reacting? lol

I don't want it under the hood cluttering things up and I dont have space below the bed wood so it would either have to go in a box in the bed, behind the seat or on the running board. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
