If your battery boxes are not screwed down using external mounting tabs that you can see then you have a problem. I just replaced my battery set because I had battery acid running out of the battery box all over the engine room.
I found that the battery cell had failed and was leaking.
But the box was mounted with screws drilled through the bottom of the box
Two problems with that. With the screws through the bottom the box is no longer acid tight.
Second. Even if your batteries are not leaking, the gas given off during each charge corrodes the screw head. As soon as the screw heads are gone your boxes with be flying around your engine room.
So check your battery boxes for external mounting screws.
