I noticed that, but the angle stuff I used was only about 3/4" wide, so there
was plenty of clearance. I coated it with that red, insulating paint stuff
used on tool handles just to be safe. The bracket is at least 3/4" from the
posts and quite solid, so I have not had any problems. This may vary with
battery construction, I guess.
