I think the best way to tie them down would be in the intercell area where
your fingers go when picking up a six pack. That is the <> location in the
fixed font diagram below.

If the battery were tied down with two half inch through bolts with large
washers or plates from above,
-any battery could be removed with only removing two tie down bolts,
-the battery could sustain many more Gs of crash impact without coming
loose,
-if the case cracked, the battery would not come loose,
-battery racks could be stacked using the same tie down bolts
-the lid can be through bolted to the bottom of the battery box increasing
rigidity.
