Good way to secure the stock battery?

Our pijuice is being used as part of a piece of scientific field equipment. It is connected to a pi4 and also has a relay hat stacked on top of it.

One challenge we have discovered is that when we are carrying these devices over rough terrian they can shake A LOT. and then the little stock batteries can sometimes pop out, or partially dislodge. This is a problem because it stores the RTC commands on it and if it loses power, that's bad!

Does anyone have good suggestions to really secure that battery in place?

my basic idea was to use some zip ties or something like this, but im guessing someone probably had a more elegant idea already

We envisaged a similar problem with our in-vehicle application.
The successful solution is to remove the wrapper from the battery. Apply JB weld between the battery and the board. Use zipties to secure in place while it dries overnight.

great thinking!
