Other than a pair of leather belts, is there a solution to frequent battery removal in the way of a quick release restraint/clamp?

This is for a standard size 12v rather than a compact/race battery - whenever I search for quick release battery I get nothing but QR terminal clamps. Any suggestions please?

Ah, I should have said this isn't for any competition - I just thought it would be a good place to ask.

If there isn't an off the shelf fix, seems a smaller ratchet strap is the best suggestion so far, but I think a couple of thick enough leather belts at 90deg might be a quick fix.

Basically despite being new, the battery started to fail as soon as the temps dropped to near zero. It gets removed if the car isn't going to be used for a couple/few days, so until I get around to getting a replacement (which I'm not really in a hurry to do, seeing as the car sites there for days at a time at the moment) I want an easy way of removal as and when.

Arg.

Either there's a quick release battery restraint you can tell me about or there isn't!

Thanks for the suggestions and advice Andrew and CS, much appreciated. The issue with the battery isn't drain unfortunately, it's just a new but faulty battery which loses a lot of charge overnight in cold weather, so it needs to be removed frequently.

Yes, that's underway but the outfit in question is being difficult so the credit card company is on the case - or so they said.

Yes, I agree! Doesn't have to be though, does it:

Q - Are quick release battery restraints available?

Ans - Yes/No

If Yes = provide link if feeling generous
If No = type no / offer an alternative / don't respond!

Elsewhere on PH someone was asked for 'evidence' to substantiate their request for recommendations for a new webcam for zoom type meetings.

GOOD GRIEF!
