the old designers who used their noggins instead of the computers, have probably all retired...

Doc, if you're referring to the shape where the bracket comes down from the battery sensor towards the battery pole, you'll be surprised to know, they're replacing it with the same design. But they took out that other branch that goes the other way and grounded to the CVT.

highs!
it'll probably last longer, but will still fracture just the same.
it's still the same lollipop design!
lollipop. relatively thin, light bracket, heavy head.

in the olden days,
the battery terminal was connected to a long, flexible cable that did not mind vibrations...

Yung problem is if in the middle of road trip mag break.
Okay sana if madaling i DIY, mag stock lang ng extra part ang owner.

Actually seems like an easy DIY (temporary) fix if it breaks on the road, even if you don't have the extra part. Length of wire lang to connect the battery terminal to the part that broke off.
Luckily both parts already have a screw that you can connect a loop of wire to, all you need to carry is a small length of wire and a 10mm socket (or whatever fits, or pliers)

If you want to do something pre-emptive maybe wire the two points together in advance, just use some thick grounding wire with spade connectors.
