I've been playing around with those polymorph beads for a while now. Certainly cheaper than a 3D printer.Biktrix sells a battery bracket but it is a couple inches longer than the battery and I don't have the space.
And it would also have to be mounted to the top tube somehow.

They work pretty cool.
I did have to mess around with it quite a bit to figure out how to work with it.
It's like modeling clay meant for artists, and I suck at art.
It doesn't stick to itself very good unless both surfaces are melty so I heat it up with a hair dryer until it starts melting (it turns clear) then stick more to it.
It doesn't bond to the straps, so I had to coat the straps and press it in place with the battery.
And it melts at 60°C so it's not too hot to handle and I won't set my battery on fire trying to melt it in place.
Instead of painting, I just discovered they make dye packs for the stuff:
