I have a VCLS post and a di2 battery chucked in my seat tube. It is not ideal but has been fine for 10,000km. It is not loose however, I wrapped it in some plasticky stuff I had lying about so it's somewhat insulated from the frame tubes

Possibly was in the seatpost initially but got dislodged and fell down the seat tube

Both my road bikes have had the Di2 battery stuffed into the seattube and not in the post for various reasons (VCLS post, bodged hanger things). Makes no difference other than being a bit tricky to take it out, which I rarely do anyway. Done #fuckloads of miles with it like this.
Wrap it in some foam and electrical tape to stop it bouncing around.

Cheers - planning to spend a bit of time over coming days to clean it up and will post some better pics then.
Had a question regarding the di2 battery - I had the seatpost out yesterday, but the battery is not mounted in the bottom of it as expected, but only thrown down in the seat tube. Owner is telling me that Fairlight built it up for him, and he hasn't really touched the battery or had seatpost out. Is there any danger of the battery/wires getting damaged when just placed in the seat tube? I am thinking to buy the battery 'bung' and install the battery in the seatpost... as it usually is. Then again the current 'bodged' way would be nice for me because I have a canyon vcls split seatpost that I could use...
