I have tried the flap method and pulled tight and the battery seems fairly secure but there is a bit of play... Doesn't remind me of the old battery straps i used to race with TC.
Typically I wrap the battery once and have the ends come together on top in the middle. You can put a very thin piece of double sided tape on the chassis and the will hold it in place and keep it from moving. If you go back a few pages we actually discussed how to keep the battery from moving.
