Zusammenfassung:A battery mounting system is provided which permits use of batteries designed both in accord with European and American battery casing standards. The mounting system utilizes a strap member with a first portion partially bordering a first side of the battery, a second mid-portion extending underneath the battery, a third portion partially bordering a second side of the battery, and a fourth portion providing a support surface which extends lateral away from the battery's second side. The first portion has an end compliantly contacting a first angled surface formed on one side of the battery. The fourth portion supports a movable retainer which has an angled ramp complementary to a similar ramp formed on the fourth portion for engagement together so as to laterally urge the retainer into engagement with a second angled surface on the second side of the battery. A fastener selectively urges the retainer against the fourth portion to thus engage the ramps for moving the retainer laterally into engagement with the battery casing.
