If in a cupboard and not worried about aesthetics I would get rid of the battens and go straight into the top of the unit with stuffing glands, if worried about what it looks like then contain all in square conduit butted to top of board. Personally I don't like battens with holes down the back. If the wall/plasterboard was shot/wonky or holes too big I would back with a ply mounting board.
Oh and the answer to your actual question is no!:)
