Battery cover issue

Bought myself a (Fahrer) neoprene accu/battery cover (frame/down tube) for use in winter.

Thought it would be easy... I seem unable to lock my battery!

Anyone ever had an issue installing the cover?

I dont know about your cover but the others I have seen go around the battery AND frame.

[MENTION=299607]speedy25[/MENTION]: The cover I am talking about is one like these...

With this cover wrapped around the battery pack I was unable to lock the battery back in place, because of the (border) thickness of the cover creating a blocking thickness on the edges between battery bottom and frame.

-- FIX --
Meanwhile, I have been able to fix the problem.
By simply cutting the cover bottom (about 3/4 seems to be enough) in order to move those thicker borders of the cover (seams) away from the bottom of the battery/frame, and then using two Velcro stretch straps.
