What It Helps Fix

• Short circuits related to poor battery retention

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Inspect the battery hold-down, surrounding mounting points, and nearby cables for corrosion or damage before transferring the battery to the new tray. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse serviceable original hardware or source the correct fasteners separately. Confirm the tray sits flat and the battery is fully secured after installation.
