Hi @UltrasoundJelly, that's awesome to hear there's more of us out there! Just to be clear, @AMDPower deserves all the credit here!
If you go with the single 48V battery, I bet you can just tie it down using a couple straps, and forget about the bolt. I think having it secured is a good idea. I know these batteries are shock tested but it seems prudent to prevent it from bouncing around.
Also, let me suggest another alternative to your overall plan: You could go with 4 12V series batteries and charge them using a 4-bank charger such as this one: https://lithiumhub.com/product/ionic-four-bank-charger/. You would loose the convenience of rigging the existing plug, but I bet you could come up with a relatively convenient way of charging, even if it means having to pop up the seat. Then again, that EG4 battery does seem very appealing.
Good luck and keep us posted!
