Fire bottle as in for an extinguisher system can be mounted anywhere. Fire extinguisher, as in hand-held, must be mounted within the driver's reach when they are in the seat (technically and strapped in but that I've not seen enforced very much, so just be reasonable).
Mike hit it on the head, the point is not to create mounts or assemblies that quite obviously are designed intentionally to add weight. The marine box is a good idea but keep in mind a plastic box goes around the battery, it does not have anything to do with securing the battery. Most marine boxes come with little J hook mounts and these are not allowed. If you want to go with the simple two point strap type mounting, use 3/8" threaded rod and washers > 1.5" on the underside of the car.
