Has he used leather for holding the battery in before?  Reason I ask is that there is always a little acid around most batteries (lead acid) unless they are really sealed well.  The acid will degrade the leather fairly quickly.

Battery strap is done. I'm pretty green since I've not made a belt before. 8oz. veg tan with maybe a 3oz. upholstery leather. Sewed it with my machine. I left the rough side out to have better grip when tightened. How often is the flesh side out when making belts? Is it common or not?

It isn't super common but not unheard of either. From time to time you'll see a flesh side out sheath or belt or holster. I've seen a few out in the wild too. I have a flesh side out wallet. It's a nice change.
