It was fitted by a Ford dealer technician under the watchful eye of the Service Advisor. It's secured at the bottom by a substantial plastic part which is bolted to the tray. The battery doesn't move when pushed/pulled by hand. The explanation about the strap over the top seems reasonable. I wasn't aware of the full facts when I wrote my original post.
