Yeah, if you think about removing all the blankets, maps etc. that live
on that shelf, then unsnapping half-a-dozen carpet snaps, then getting a
screwdriver out of the glove box (or worse, the boot) to undo the Dzus
fasteners, and THEN taking a wrench to the battery clamp bolt, well, the
fire department might already be there by the time you get the battery
disconnected, at which point you haven't even got to deploying your fire
extinguisher. That's certainly food for thought...
