There is a battery hold down clamp. Attaches at the bottom of the battery and bolts into the captured nut at the bottom of the battery compartment. Just go to a vendor site and search for battery hold down.

Thanks for your reply. what I'm looking for Is something stronger. I can see the factory hold down. It just looks like when thing get exciting that might not hold. The last thing I wont happening is the battery bouncing around with me. Am I over thinking it.
Thanks

Can you move the battery when it is clamped down?
If not there is nothing wrong.
if it does move, do you have the clamp positioned with the curved end pointing up?

The stock battery hold-down system was designed to do its job in VERY adverse situations, ie, crash, roll-over, etc. If you have the correct parts and install it as intended, you should have no fear of it failing.
