Q. How insecure does a battery have to be before it should be failed?
A. The battery must be so insecure such that it is unrestrained and likely to fall from its vertical position when the vehicle is in its presented condition (i.e. bonnet / access panels closed). A battery that is not strapped down and is moving around inside a battery box does not justify a failure, as it cannot fall from the carrier.
