Check the Battery size
Only that battery could be fitted on your car which can be placed on a base plate within the engine bay. No doubt batteries come in the variety of sizes, but replace it with the one that can be perfectly and firmly fitted on the base plate. There should not be any space left for it to get shaken up when the car jostles. So the battery size should be as per the size of the base plate.
