I looked in a bunch of threads and tried to sort via "Secure Battery" and other combinations with no luck, so I will take the lazy route here and just ask. I have just purchased a new AGM 12V battery for my Cyclone 3010 to replace the terrible excuse of a battery that came with my trailer.
If you know the characteristics of an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery, I no longer have maintenance concerns or venting issues that I need to work on. I have to basically secure it and hook it up. I plan to put it in the battery compartment up front and in a manner that allows for the planned inverter. It's a behemoth of a battery and it would just about secure itself by virtue of it's weight but we know that's not sufficent. So. I'm sure that other's have crossed this path and I was hoping to hear/see the solutions that others have done themselves or vendors have done to secure their batteries. I won't be using a battery box. Not needed. I am thinking straps?? I weld so I could fab metal brackets?? You never know where the next great idea will come from so have at it guys. And gals...
Thank you in advance!
