Battery Tray

The battery is placed in a plastic tray located in the left front side of the vehicle, next to the left strut tower. Refer to Battery Hold down for more information on hold down hardware.

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.
