I've boughten a lot of zip ties to secure battery to the top of my rear rack.
They keep breaking!
I've purchased department store ones which are useless (Canadian Tire, Rona, Lowes, HD, Harbor King/Princess Auto) Zip ties. Even the thicker zip ties break, I purchased 36" long x 1/2-3/4" wide from PA, and they broke last night.
The one's I've used a few times were the metal zip ties from Canadian Tire and they were good but hard to get a good tightness to them since the metal doesnt conform to corners very well. I just use cut off pliers and hammer the corners in, but still.
A step up from that is galvanized steel 24g 3/4" metal with the holes in them to secure say a dresser to the wall or to secure a hanging pipe from the ceiling. I just used some long bolts that were laying around, and go one hole up so that the bolt fits but you got like an inch to go, using your fingers, throw that nut on there and rock the bolt back and forth pushing the gap in and tightening the bolt. Of course you gotta conform the corners so there is no slack.
Works great!
