Before I mounted the boxes to the car I made the battery holders that will hold the batteries to the box. According to regulations the battery holders (and and boxes themselves) must withstand 4.5 gs of vertical acceleration in case of a crash, which these do with substantial safety.
The holders are made from aluminum L-bars covered with heat shrink to minimize leakage currents in case of severe condensation in the battery box.
