The Projecta Standard Metal Battery Tray gives you a solid base for a single battery up to N50Z with a footprint of 185 mm by 280 mm. The metal tray locks the case footprint so it cannot creep across the floor under vibration. The recessed slots keep the battery clear of the mounting bolts so the case does not sit on sharp hardware. The tray uses pressed metal with formed edges to stiffen the 185 mm by 280 mm plate. The cross slots help line up different clamp styles so you can match your existing setup. The smooth metal surface sits flat on steel or alloy floors common in ute trays and canopies. The simple footprint makes this tray a smart buy for touring rigs that see plenty of corrugations and heat.

Q: Does this tray include battery clamps or hold-down hardware?

No, this tray does not include clamps or hold-down hardware. The tray is a base that supports the battery footprint only. You will need separate brackets or straps to secure the battery in place. This makes it easier to match the hold-down style to your vehicle or canopy layout. Check your existing hardware to confirm compatibility with the slot layout.

Q: What battery sizes will fit this tray?

This tray suits common battery sizes up to N50Z. If your battery is marked as N50Z or smaller, the base footprint should fit within the 185 mm by 280 mm tray size. Always compare the physical length and width of your battery case to the tray. Allow a little clearance for easy placement and removal. Taller batteries can be used as long as they fit your under-bonnet or canopy height.

Q: Can I use this tray in a canopy or toolbox instead of the engine bay?

Yes, the tray can be mounted in a canopy or toolbox if the surface is suitable. The flat 185 mm by 280 mm base can bolt down to steel, alloy or timber floors, provided the structure is strong enough for the battery weight. The recessed slots allow bolt heads to sit below the support surface. This keeps the battery case resting on the tray, not on the fasteners. Always use appropriate fasteners for the floor material.

Q: Is the tray suitable for off-road touring and corrugated tracks?

Yes, the metal construction and recessed slots suit off-road use when correctly mounted. The rigid metal base supports the full battery footprint, which helps spread impact loads over corrugations. Recessed mounting slots help prevent case damage from bolt heads on rough tracks. For serious touring use, pair the tray with a solid hold-down clamp system. Regularly check all mounting bolts to keep the setup secure.
