1. A mounting system for a vehicle battery comprising:
a battery compartment having a battery platform which forms the lower surface of the battery compartment and which has a recess; and
a roller mount for fixing to the vehicle battery and having a roller which when the roller mount is fixed to the vehicle battery maintains the roller in a fixed relationship with the lowest surface of the vehicle battery so that the lowest circumferential point of the roller is lower than the lowest surface of the vehicle battery, and which is aligned so that when the vehicle battery is fully inserted into the battery compartment, the roller drops into the recess in the battery platform so that the lowest surface of the vehicle battery then rests in load bearing engagement with the battery platform and the roller is no longer in load bearing engagement with the battery platform.
