Fit the battery with a proper hold down, and check it again after the first rough trip. Measure the battery you plan to use, including terminals, before ordering. Route cables away from hot exhaust parts and sharp edges, and use grommets through panels. Check the tray bolts at each service, as engine bay vibration loosens hardware over time. White or green crust on a terminal is corrosion, and it adds resistance to the circuit. Disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect it last whenever you work near the battery. Use cable rated for the current and length of the run, and fuse it close to the battery. Remove rings and watches before working on battery connections. If you are unsure about any of it, an auto electrician can fit and test the setup for you.
