r44 weight and balance

I note that T.E.Torque is concerned about r44 balance when heavily loaded with low\light fuel. In the fatal accidents he mentions or other similar accidents do we know if the battery was fitted under the instrument panel or engine bay?To my way of thinking Robinson made a serious error putting the battery up the front,from both a balance and cold starting situation. I have owned 2 44s with aft batteries and my present machine is with nose installation.I encourage peoples thoughts on this.
