Securing battery

Just had to replace the battery on my Sport (Bosch one from Halfords - £45) The old one was secured in the battery housing with duck tape. Is there a better way than this? Perhaps my Sport is missing a part? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

There is an official part. It a black circle of rubber that clips round the top and bottom of the battery housing. I am sure Cunninghams has one

Or a really strong rubber band

I have a bungy cord holding mine is place Johnathan which has never let me down. Only downside I have found is that if you put something in the boot it may touch the battery terminals though this is yet to happen.

they usually have a bungee/ huge elastic band to keep it in the tray

Thank you very much Mathius, Alex and Chris for your kind replies. And on re-reading my initial discussion, how embarrasing to call duct tape 'duck tape'! Never mind - very polite of you all not to correct me. I will try a combination of said tape and a bungee cord if I can find one small enough. Now got the battery on permanent trickle charge and hope to take the Sport for its' first run in some weeks tomorrow. Happy new year to all who use this site! :-)
