I had this.... turned out to be the rear light gasket was letting water through. The water travels under the boot carpet, under the back seat and down to the front of the car. If yours is the same, i'd get it sorted as enough water staying in one place aint good for ford metal

try the heater mtrix connections aswell they connect behind the dash and leak into the compartment. Can be blamed for a number of leaks I bet!

Really does sound like battery tray! Or under the heater motors maybe?
But you say it's all new! Odd.......

Sure you will find its the heater matrix !!

I had the exact same problem a few years back - went to put car thru car wash and ended up with a bubble bath on the floor - all down to the matrix !!
