When I first found my battery was slipping around I tightened up the bracket, but the battery still moved if i shoved it hard enough. That was not good enough for me.
I just went to Home Depot, and got some of the 3M Double sided foam sticky tape. I lifted the battery, and placed the double sided sticky tape on all the contact points that the battery sits on (around the bottom edges of the battery). Then placed the battery down on top of the sticky tape, and tightened down the bracket. It will not move at all now.
I got the stuff at Home Depot. Its grey, but has red backing on it that you peel off. The stuff I got was about an inch wide.
Hope this helps.

I think they would look just as great on MSG as they do on silver!
