Best non-permanent adhesive for mounting a battery?

I have a Native Slayer 14.5, which has an electronics console in the middle:

That console is hollow and gives access to the bottom hull. I have a small 8 amp battery (1/2 the size of a brick) underneath for the electronics, but for the life of me I can't get the damn thing to adhere to the hull's plastic. I've tried bath caulk, adhesive putty, etc. Any tips on what to use that would not be permanent?

I have had success getting things to stay put on the tunnel of my ultimate using the grip mat that you would use under a carpet. It certainly isn't going to hold like 5200, but it does a decent job of holding my crate in place.

Lexel clear is available at Lowes and Home Depot.
It says on the tube that it is superior to Silicon for adhesion. Native uses it to hold flotation foam in their kayaks. I have used it to attach transducers, battery boxes and various starboard items to several kayaks. Can be removed but does take a bit of scraping.

Perfect! Thanks for the suggestions. Lexel sounds like a good option.
