H8 Battery Fit into E84

I am wondering anyone directly bolt a H8 battery into E84? The E84 battery container appears to be large enough but not sure the clamp would hold it down without modification.

I could not fit the H8 in my E84. It had two battery bracket bolt holes that would fit the H6 and H7. No hole that would fit the H8. My E88 and E90 had three bracket holes to fit the three different battery sizes. I put H8s in those cars (replacing H7s) so I know what I was looking for. You might be able to squeeze the H8 in the space but you won't be able to bolt it down.

Thank you so much for your reply. This is exactly what I need to know before purchase a replacement battery. I was hoping for the higher capacity H8 battery for the long haul. Oh well, will need to focus on a H7 instead.
