I know we no longer have to submit our cars for MOT tests, but it is a reason for failure if the vehicle's battery is not properly secured. Just because it is held in place by gravity and a couple of sturdy cables doesn't mean it isn't going to part company with the car in a crash and either cause a fire or disgorge its contents over the passengers or anyone carrying out rescue duties, for exactly the same reasons as mentioned by Steve.
For the sake of a bit of threaded rod and some angle (I use a piece of stainless on the RP) - bolt it down. Don't tempt providence.
