Some may sound obvious but its surprising how often people overlook them.
1)Did you forget about the battery "keeper"? (The metal plate that screws in on top of the battery to keep it in place.) Is it under the battery?
2)Is the battery the correct size for your vehicle? Different varients of the same model sometimes use completely different sizes / shapes of batteries.
3)Is the battery located properly? Check that it isn't sitting on top of the rim of the battery-tray.
4)Are the terminal connectors located properly? Sometimes if not secured properly the connectors can come loose and "ride up" on the terminal.
5)Double check that there is nothing between the battery and battery-tray. A stray section of the cars wiring harness, a screwdriver or spanner for example.
6)Is there anything out of place about the way the bonet sits on its hinges? Did it close properly before? Has it been damaged?
If everything is in order and the battery tray hasn't been moved then you must have the wrong size battery.
