Ok I heard the stories of a crash where battery boxes are ripped out, an I don't exactly want it to happen to me. So... I messed out with different things that kept the wing struts secure, but wouldn't rip out the battery box in a crash. I tried some velcro, but I didn't like it, and then I tried some paper clips 
Amazingly, I found a normal 1 1/4" paper clip is the perfect size for clipping the two wing struts together! I used 2 paper clips, and just attached them to each wing strut, holding the struts in place without stressing the battery box. I've still got to flight test it, but hopefully it works. Here's a pic [sorry bout the quality]
Hope it helps
