I've had scores of cars over the decades and most of them had unsecured
batteries for whatever reason. It has never caused me the slightest

Well yes and no., They do flap around if you are an enthusiastic driver,

Since I ran out of scrapyards in those days it was never hard to find a
replacement clamp.
