One possible way of using what you have in a more efficient way, could be to place the ships' battery in the wheel tunnel in a sturdy enough moveable cage, adjustable in flight.
Any observations/thoughts on this??

Allow me to pass along some advise I received (as part of a crowd) from
Burt Rutan:
In the course of building your aircraft, you may be tempted to add devices
or materials not specified in the plans. To test such materials, place them
in your palm. Sharply accelerate your hand vertically towards the sky. If
performed properly, the material or device will depart your hand skyward.
If the material falls back to earth, it is too heavy, do not add it to your
aircraft!
Bom Dia!

The CofG on a trigear does not move that much in flight to warrant the complication and weight of such a modification.
I'd stick the battery on the firewall or rear compartment in the luggage bay dependent on the Build and the equipment fitted.
My battery is on the firewall and that's just fine.

Modern batteries (LiPo) weighing around 1 kilogram are not anymore an effective way of adjusting CG position.
