Lithium battery placement

I have two 12 volt wet batteries on a 16" 2018 Sport. Has anyone placed an lithium battery inside their trailer? Size of battery and where?
I remember reading a thread about placing one under the seat, next to water tank but can't find the thread. I have very little room there so I would like to see the creativity of getting one in there. Thanks.

Yes, Lion or equivalent. Under the bed, next to converter?

Yes, it can be done. We did it and wrote the thread about installing a Battle Born lithium in the Sport 16. We built a box to cradle the battery, and installed it under the seat beside the water tank. It sits above the water valves. The thread is long, but you can look for it under my name. Good luck.
