Is that not as big a factor because it's not physically fastened down? I would imagine tape or straps don't provide near the same structural integrity. Or do manufacturers consider then when they design the chassis?
Regardless, expect a PM from me soon.
The battery does stiffen the chassis. A simple fix is to put a couple strips of battery tape under the battery so as to create a gap between the battery and the chassis. It doesn't take much and it does the trick.
