Default Station for Battery on RV-6A - (for W&B)

Does anyone know the station of the standard battery location on a 6A?
Need to update the W&B for a lighter battery.
This is the standard battery box just aft of the firewall on the floor.
Thanks

Default 52"

I measure a 52" arm. It's funny you ask this as I'm looking a the weights of the LiPo batteries at Aircraft Spruce. Aerovoltz has a battery that is 3 lbs, versus my 23 pound concord! 20 pounds is significant.

Default 3.1 lbs battery

We have a Shorai LFX21A5-BS12. They call it a LiFePO4 LFX?
It's 3.1 lbs, 21 Ah equivalent 315 CCA.
It's turning over a IO-360 fine so far.
