Battery hold down straps

I need to replace my battery hold down straps. Asking those that have also replaced, is this a stocking item at the local auto parts store ? The one I removed seems to be around 7' long, 1" wide, was simply tied to the rear clip, and fastened through the front clip with a D ring. My Clips that attach to the battery tray are fine just the steel fasteners for the straps are ruined. Thanks!

Got me thinking, I just replaced my coach batteries last week and
I didnt have any hold down straps I thought the batts would be too
heavy to bounce around......I guess I need to figure out some straps.
How did they come from Newmar?

Mine came with straps but they corroded through. I have been running without straps for about a year and batteries don't seem to move much.

Now I know what those corroded parts in the next storage bay are
