View official regulation text✓Plain English
The battery must be firmly and permanently mounted — loose, zip-tied, or aftermarket racks that let the battery rattle do not comply. Lithium battery fires are a growing concern; insurers and bylaw officers pay increasing attention to battery mounting security, particularly for rental and delivery fleets.
