Propel Endeavor2 S - adding a second battery

I’ve seen a few posts where people have added a second stock battery to their Endeavor1 S with just a parallel Y cable, a few new mounting holes in the chassis, and routing out the deck. I’ve got a buddy that wants to do something similar with his endeavor2, bought a second used battery off eBay, but turns out the chassis is about an inch too narrow to put the batteries side by side.

Does anyone know if the endeavor2 S battery is welded together in square configuration? We’re hoping if we can disassemble and reassemble it staggered instead we could save some space and make them fit. Other ideas appreciated, TIA
