I have several of these planes.

Putting the battery pack in that area is going to be problematic, in terms of getting the C.G. right, if not for the other reasons.

Usually you want the battery packs to sit in the space normally utilized for the fuel tank as this puts the weight in the right area.

The fuel tank is on the firewall.

I've thought of doing what he is thinking of, but stopped because the only available space is just behind the cowl.

With longer battery packs, it would then be difficult to slide them into place.

The plane itself is a great flyer, and I would like to electrify one of these as well.
