Default Optima Red Top Battery Tie Downs?

Does anyone have a recommended product and/or source for a battery tie down strap for my Optima Red Top in a 07 A6? I want some extra security for the battery before heading to the road track later this Spring... Thanks

Not really sure you need one. I have a YellowTop 35 in mine and in 4 years it is still in the same spot I put it in.

I don't necessarily disagree... mine has stayed put for over 2 years as well, but I'm headed to a road course this Spring and want some extra insurance that it will stay put during aggressive driving. I may just utilize a strap around the existing tray/battery assembly.... just curious if anyone has seen something marketed specifically for this purpose.

The link in post #2 anchors the Optima down quite securely. It has a tray that attaches to the car and to clamps that lock onto the base of the Optima. Looked pretty solid to me.
