The length of my strap is 19.25 inches long (48.75.cm) Only measured the webbing. I have only tried to fit this strap around a battery who have swelled up a bit, that might be the reason it didn't fit around.
If this is the correct securing strap for battery it means I need one identical as I only have this one. Is it common that these strap are with double buckles? Best regards Carl

There is two buckle versions.
Yours, and mine.  The size is the same.

That looks like a later 'tropicalized' strap, with nickel plated fittings and rot-proofed webbing.
There were several different varieties of fittings used over the years: plain brass (the original), nickel-plated brass (tropic proofed), tin-plated steel (economy), and painted steel. The tin-plated steel are the worst due to tin being lower down the electrochemical series than iron (so that as soon as you get a hole through the plating that exposes the steel electrolysis can take place and the steel rusts at an amazing rate).

The double buckles are standard - they're self-locking so the strap can be threaded through them and pulled tight to hold the battery in place. I've attached the battery specifications - these are for the final version (with NATO stock numbers, etc.) - the battery stayed in service for a considerable time, as it was used to power other equipment (Field telephone amplifier) as well as the WS18, WS46 and WS68, etc. Chris.

With the dimensions listed in the document it should not be any problem with fitting it. I have never seen these two buckle straps for sale anywhere! What would be the best place to start searching for the second one?
Best regards Carl

If you don't find the same strap as yours, the two you can see on my photos are available. They have brass buckle and are coming from a WS18 MKIII.
