Battery protection

In a car such as a Fury, Tiger GTA, Sylva stylus with a fully closed bonnet, the battery could potentially be hit by stones from the front nearside wheel assuming most batteries sit on the bulkhead area. Do the batteries need a protective jacket wrapped around them for IVA? This isn't an issue in a 7 style car. It's been flagged up to me and wondered what others have done? It might have been something from the days of SVA rules?

I'm also interested in people's thoughts on this.

I will be mounting the battery low on the bulkhead of the Stylus and was contemplating putting it in a battery box. I'd mainly thought of doing it for neatness and to keep mud/dirt away from it, hadn't really thought of a possible IVA requirement.

I would have thought the stuff from OBP would surface
