MartinW Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I've just replaced my battery, I bought exactly the same make and model as was already there but I guess in the last few years they've made it smaller. The bracket no longer holds it firmly down. For now I've put a squash racket grip between the battery and bracket so it will hold. Anyone else had this issue, how did you resolve it? Is there a spacer or something you can buy to raise the battery up a little? Fully prepared for one of you to tell me I am doing something wrong 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1en Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Can't tell if you have done anything wrong BUT I use a lithium battery which is way smaller than a standard lead-acid type. To get the height needed I purchased several cork sanding blocks (that you would normally wrap sandpaper round) and duck taped them together to make a base roughly the same size as the battery. they are around 40mm depth so if that would work for you, its an option, might raise it up too much though in your case.

MartinW Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Interesting idea, I actually have some thin cork sheets I could cut up and layer underneath. Not sure if I should be worried about it potentially being flammable or melty around the hot engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
