Re: Where to mount the battery?

I am superstitious. I prefer my batteries to be upright. The UPS sitting next to me uses the same type battery. One battery of the pair spends its life upside down. Go figure.

While zip tying the anderson connector is a good idea, if it is that loose, one of the connectors are bad. Could be a source of electrical gremlins. Better to strap it some way so that it does not flop around. We put in under the same Velcro strap we use to secure the battery.

We used Velcro tape to secure the battery one year. Bad idea. Very secure. Difficult to change.
