    .. The battery fit in the space,

    How critical is this flange space fit?

    Does the replacement battery secure in place at all? If not, can it tip
    over without the clamp in place? If the battery cannot tip over or shift
    such that undesired contact (short to positive terminal/ground, battery
    shift into pulleys, etc.) occurs, then the "flange" issue is somewhat moot.

  3. It's in a tight space, where it can't really slide into a dangerous
    place. But when I tried the first battery that didn't tie down, I
    didn't realize that elantra batteries were hard to find, so I returned
    it, thinking that the next store I went to would probably have one.

    I'd rather not have the battery sliding around if it's not hard or
    expensive to do. I know it can't slide far, but I'm just that way.
