I'll have to keep this in mind when I replace my batteries. The ones I have now have a sort of flange that means that don't lay on their side very well. I also like that it's easy to visually inspect the cables.

I can't remember which type of webbing I used, probably nylon or whichever one was rated better for outdoor use. I'm not concerned about battery acid, they are sealed batteries
I was more concerned that the straps go under the battery tray, and could get damaged by rocks or thrown up gravel. I will definitely be able to tell if the come loose though.
