Who has their's? A couple minutes ago someone just told me of their existence.

Show it off and make me feel bad for not having one!

Definitely makes removing the battery easier since I don't worry about hitting the tub with the wrench
 
The Jeep I'm build now was missing its guard. To make matters worse, it was also missing the battery hold down. This was evidenced by the battery "weld" mark on the passenger fender, where the + terminal contacted the fender. Some split rubber hose and a battery hold down fixed this problem!
 
As a dumb teen I welded a battery to the hood twice in 1 week. TWICE. Guess I finally smartened up after the second time. Was needing to keep swapping batteries between vehicles, depending on what needed to run at the time. Didn't want to waste time with the battery hold downs. Stupid kid. Hopefully a bit smarter now.
 
Mine has it too.

If you don’t have one, a piece of that door edge guard trim would work pretty well. Even a small length of small diameter hose.
