My Battery is also located behind the baggage bay bulkhead(starboard
side) in fact its about 1 mtr back from the bulkhead. The reason mine is
sighted there is for weight & balance purposes. We calculated that with
a light pilot and empty ( well almost) fuel tank you could actually be
out of balance, but I guess that depends on the weight of your battery.
But I would strongly recommend you do some calculations based on all
possible configurations to determine the optimum placement of the
battery rather that just consider the obvious wiring issues. As you
really don't want to discover what its like to fly "outside the
envelope" believe me especially when you least expect it.

For my Rotax 914 installation the battery is located just aft of the
baggage bay bulkhead, starboard side. There were two reasons for
selecting this location - 1) Kim Prout, who knows a few things about the
aircraft and is my EAA Technical Advisor, suggested this location
because his first Europa was slightly nose heavy, and 2) the factory's
wiring harness has the fat wires start at that location.

Among the jobs to do before putting the top on you might think about the
battery compartment - what are builders doing to house their batteries
please?
