I purchased a Battery Topper from YearOne. My current Hold-Down Battery Bracket is not wide enough. I emailed YearOne and they said...
"Since the cover overlaps the battery it has to be a little wider than the battery. There is no corresponding hold down which is slightly wider.
There are a couple of ways to deal with this. My preferred method, once it is decided to keep the cover, is to mark the cover where the strap fits and remove a small amount of material from the edge of the cover on both sides. Another way is to remove a portion of the rubber coating from the strap in the area where the strap contacts the cover. This method might in the long run shorten the life of the strap."
Anybody know of a wider Hold-Down Battery Bracket or a different approach to use this Battery Topper?
