Battery Tray

Battery Tray:

The battery is mounted in a stamped steel tray located in the passenger side rear corner of the engine compartment. The battery tray is secured by four hex screws with washers to the reinforcement located between the engine compartment side of the dash panel and the rear of the front fender wheelhouse inner panel.

A hole in the bottom of the battery tray is fitted with a battery temperature sensor.

The battery tray provides a secure mounting location and supports the battery. On some vehicles, the battery tray also provides the anchor point/s for the battery holddown hardware. The battery tray and the battery holddown hardware combine to secure and stabilize the battery in the engine compartment, which prevents battery movement during vehicle operation. Unrestrained battery movement during vehicle operation could result in damage to the vehicle, the battery, or both.
