the connection on my fuse came loose recently partly because the wire is short but also because the battery moves around bumping against the fuse holder. does anyone use a bracket or something to wedge the battery so it doesn't move?
i extended the wire but before i closed the battery compartment i wedged a small piece of foam to keep the battery in place. after the fact i got a little concerned about fire. i'm not so sure it is a good idea to have foam near the battery. what would you use to keep the battery in place?

I got cardboard folded an wedged in between my battery and battery-case and my battery hasn't moved since. The bike even wrecked and the battery cover came off, but the battery stayed put.

You could oped in for a bigger battery next time you need one. You would also get a bit more CCA and Amp HR as well. Just an ideal that worked for me.

My battery is nested in a cloth bed to dampen vibration and inhibit shifting. Hope it doesn't catch fire.
