The Battery Link Battery Hold Down Bracket 7 inch keeps a single battery locked into the tray up to 18 centimetres wide. The metal cross bar spans the battery top so the case does not walk around on corrugations or boat ramps. The threaded rods run down into the tray so you can tension the whole setup with simple hand tools. The adjustable height hardware means one kit can tackle different case heights. The bracket uses solid metal bar for the cross piece and slender metal rods for the sides so the gear stays compact in tight engine bays. The fit for 18 centimetre wide cases lines up with many common starter and deep cycle batteries. The simple nuts and hooks layout is a smart buy because replacement hardware is straightforward to source. The bracket suits day to day Australian driving and touring use where a fixed battery is mandatory.

Q: What battery sizes will this bracket suit?

This bracket suits batteries up to 18 cm wide. The width limit is set by the metal cross bar span. If your battery case measures under 18 cm across the top it will sit within the bracket. Always measure the battery width with a tape before ordering so you know it falls inside that limit.

Q: Can this hold down be used as a replacement on an existing tray?

Yes, it can work on many existing trays that accept hook style rods. The rods need suitable holes or slots in the tray edges to locate correctly. If your current tray already has hook style hardware this kit should drop in. Just confirm the hook ends have solid steel to bite against when tensioned.

Q: Is the height of the bracket fixed or adjustable?

The height is adjustable via the threaded rods. You wind the nuts down until the cross bar sits firmly on top of the battery case. This lets the same kit clamp lower or taller cases within reason. Always leave enough thread engagement on the nuts for a secure setup under vibration.

Q: Do I need any special tools to fit this bracket?

Basic hand tools are usually enough. Most setups only need an open-ended spanner or small socket for the nuts. You may use pliers to hold the hook end while tensioning if access is tight. Taking time to tension both sides evenly helps the battery sit flat and secure in the tray.
