New bike battery problem

Hiya, on my old bike I taped the the 7 amp hour lead acid battery for
my light to the seat bar. However, on my new bike, I don't really want
to tape stuff. Any ideas on how to mount it?

What are the dimensions of it? Can you put it under the seat? I have seen
them mounted in a bracket where the drink bottle holder goes. Did you get a
bracket with it, or are they available?

More info would help!

rectangular prism, 2.5 kilos, 13.5cmx10.5x15 Bracket for drink bottle
may be too frajile, I don't know.

Get three nylon straps with plastic buckles, about an inch wide and at
least 45cm long each from any disposals store. Place the battery in the
corner where the seat tube and top tube meets. Use two straps to secure
the battery to the top tube, and one strap to secure it to the seat
tube. Make sure to place padding on the contact areas if you are
worried about scratching your frame.

You may be able to use the head tube-top tube corner if your dimensions
allow it.

I am looking at doing the same - my plan is to put it in a pouch and connect
it up with velcro. You can get thick velcro from lincraft or similar, and I
use it to hold on my U lock and bike pump currently.

You should be able to get an under-seat bag that fits the battery,
I've got an Axiom brand one, I think from Wheels in Motion - a couple
of years ago though. You'll probably need to add an extra strap (such
as a toe-strap) around the bag, battery and saddle rails, but the bag
basically holds it in place.
