Battery HOLDDOWN: Description

The battery holddown hardware includes a plastic holddown bracket and retaining bolt. The battery holddown bracket meshes with the battery tray to secure the battery to the battery tray.

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