Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Cars with a battery tray accepting the supplied 10-inch J-hooks and bracket span
- Light trucks with compatible battery dimensions and secure lower anchor points
- ATVs, UTVs, boats, and custom projects only when dimensions, material suitability, and anchoring are verified
- Typical batteries approximately 8.5-9.0 inches across the intended bracket path; measure the actual kit and battery
Product Overview
A battery that can slide, tip, or bounce is a short-circuit and fire risk, whether the vehicle is a daily driver, track project, off-road machine, or custom build. This universal-style kit provides a rigid top restraint when its measurements and anchor points suit the tray.
Universal does not mean dimension-free. Measure battery width, height, terminal clearance, tray anchors, and required J-hook length, and make sure the crossbar cannot contact either terminal.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.
