the best bet is to install a nice-sized modern 12-volt in place of the
battery on the passenger side of the car. You could even, in that case, make a
container for the other side into which you could put some cumbersome and
weighty
spare parts for that really long trip, such as a starter and generator.

That's what I did, installing a "Maintenance-free" type battery on the right
side and using a Tupperware container where the left six-volter would have
been, in which I keep larger bulkier spares such as upper/lower rad hoses, etc.
BTW I assume that everyone knows about the Tupperware cake holder that fits
perfectly under your spare tire--another great place to carry spares.
