My "correct" sized battery fits pretty tight.  I put a piece of plastic
strapping around the battery before lowering it in the hole.  Made it much
easier to maneuver.


I'm sure you could use a short piece of rope, or an old neck tie.


I figured the plastic would be less prone to absorbing rust-friendly
moisture, plus it was near by.
