3 in 1 week is too many though...
I would check and make sure there are no sharp edges on the battery tray where the straps go thru. Use some light sandpaper or a hobby knife and round the edges of the plastic a bit. also make sure you are using both front slots or both rear, if you put the strap thru both outside slots then your battery will be sliding back and forth and may put extra stress on the straps.
