Our conclusions.
Pros.
Larger batteries can be used.
Battery weight is lower so lower centre of gravity.
A reasonable amount of extra storage.
Storage is suitable for heaver seldom-used items.
Additional storage or usable space where batteries where.
Additional storage is accessible from within the van.
Not obvious.
Shorter route for the power cable to the engine, (starter motor).
A small amount of weight distribution is possible.
Cons.
Quite a lot of work to install, (especially second box).
Whirring and pipework need rerouting, (for the second box).
Right-hand box requires a different hand brake linkage system.
Full-size right-hand box requires a different gear linkage system.
Batters and boxes vulnerably to possible damage.
Loss of some ground clearance.
Some additional weight.
