Seems like the most direct route-straight aft under the F870B stiffener, into the gear tower, then up through the upper tower sidewall hole. I hesitate to drill additional holes in the gear towers, but the existing one at the base of the tower and also in bulkhead F866 aren=99t ideally located for this purpose. I=99m planning to use a VP-X for power distribution, so would probably only need to run a single #8 or #10 gauge wire rather than a bundle. Would still want a hole large enough to take extra wires if necessary. Other options? Photos would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at installing the battery in the baggage box well, but adding a mount to a QB fuselage seems like an unnecessary complication.
