If you are referring to the big box above the battery of pre-facelift EcoSport, that's the ECU (I think this was relocated beside the battery on newer models).

I believe the EBS (Electrical/Electronic Battery Sensor) is the small boxy thing attached to the negative cable/ terminal of the battery. I googled an example of an EBS.
Electronic battery sensor

my guess?
it's probably cheaper to manufacture than the alternative.
heh heh.

poor design.
with all that vibration, one would have expected... heck! in all due humility, i could have predicted that breakage!
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.
