How to secure a leisure battery in the engine bay?

Any recommended methods or devices for doing this? I assume it will require drilling holes at some point…

i used two lengths of threaded bar, one each end of the battery with a metal plate sleeved in an innertube across the top of the battery that each threaded bar passes through, then just wing nuts to secure,. Will require two holes drilled in the tray to hold the rods with a large washer and nyloc nut on each underneath
