[Mgs] batteries and starting

[Paul Hunt]

Unless they are held down they can bounce up and short out on the bottom of
the cover panel, and the rattling around reduces their life anyway.  Some fit
foam there as a quick bodge, but that can get damp and will trickle-discharge
the batteries.  As for cutting up a battery and then trying to get a
replacement under guarantee, you won't know till you try.  It never ceases to
amaze me how mere employees of a company will gib and argue rather than giving
you a top-up, replacement, or whatever depending on what you are complaining
about as if the cost is coming out of their own pockets!

  Gravity holds the battery down just fine so no need to redo anything with
the hold down
