Tin is supposed to be easier to solder to.

| Subject: | Squeezing a battery |
I recently built a battery holder for an Odyssey PC545 battery to mount it o
n the firewall. Thought I had left a bit of wiggle room to get the battery i
n and out but now that it's bolted to the firewall it's in there tight. I do
n't mind having to remove 5 bolts every couple years to remove the battery (
better than remaking the holder) but will it damage the battery to squeeze i
t? I don't think there is much if any pressure on the battery but it's alrea
dy going to be stressed sitting in the heat in the engine compartment. Do th
ese batteries need room to thermally expand at all?
Thank you
Sebastien

Is the clamping effect to the firewall itself (still some space moving
battery side to side)? If so, you can shim the battery box out from the
firewall with a washer or two under each mounting bolt.

I don't want to shim out with washers as I'm worried about stressing the firewall
but I will make two full sized plates to shim out if I have to. A good point
thank you.

It looks like somewhere between 10 to 30 washers could give you a snug fit as desired.
