Vibration is the #2 suspect. A distant 2nd to heat I think. But vibration is easier to treat thanks to motorcycles which have a bigger problem with vibration. We can buy for dirt cheap 1/8" thick low density neoprene pads, Drag Specialties part number 2113-0077 which are designed specifically to reduce vibration to a motorcycle battery. The 5" x 8" pads have a sticky side and can be cut to fit. If the pad gives a Harley battery a gentler ride then surely a Saab 9000 battery will also benefit.
I haven't tried the pads, but they're so cheap I wouldn't feel bad if they have no noticeable impact on battery life.
