Battery Holddown

JR Battery Tray And Holddown Hardware:




The battery hold down includes three bolts and two hold down brackets. The battery hold down brackets are formed steel brackets with holes on both ends.

When installing a battery into the battery tray, it is important that the hold down hardware is properly installed and that the fasteners are tightened to the proper specifications. Improper hold down fastener tightness, whether too loose or too tight, can result in damage to the battery, the vehicle, or both.

The battery hold down secures the battery in the battery tray. This hold down is designed to prevent battery movement during the most extreme vehicle operation conditions. Periodic removal and lubrication of the battery hold down hardware is recommended to prevent hardware seizure at a later date.
