Floor compartment safe for AGM battery storage?

I want to put my solar system battery..somewhere...and got to wondering whether it be safe to store it in my lined floor compartment. 

 

Just curious about the safety from potential damage from the underneath side (speed bumps or whatever...not that it has ever come into contact with a speed bump as far as I know!).Physically, it will be a challenge for me to get underneath and look.

 

PS my understanding is that the type of battery I plan to use does not out-gas. Other types may need to be vented and I really wouldn't want to be putting holes in the compartment!

 

Thanks  in advance!

AGM batteries are sealed so no off gassing. They are also supposedly very vibration resistant which is why they are used in ATV’ s and jet skies. 
 

They need to be charged differently than regular lead acid, but if it came with its own charger should be fine.

Maybe cardboard over the glass front in case stuff going on top of it. 
New flex panels are pretty cool, neighbor has one for camping, very convenient.
