as long as you're not flying it that way!
seriously.....even smaller 7 amp batteries weigh 7 pounds or more....any
crash could result in several G's, even at 7-8 G's that's equal to a force
of 50 or more pounds suddenly coming from this battery alone.and most
crashes would be more severe...I've seen batteries held in with Ty-wraps,
Velcro, even packing and double sided tape...Velcro may be easy, but do you
really need to risk this?

Our club Discus has a spot for a battery just aft of the rudder pedals
but the straps are MIA. Is it safe to make new straps or use Velcro for
attaching the battery hold down?
