Battery Trays and Covers

A battery needs a sturdy tray.

A battery - whether lead-acid or lithium-ion - is a sensitive part compared to an engine. It cannot withstand severe shocks, impacts or vibrations, and it should be installed in such a way that it can´t topple.

The battery tray actually has to fulfill contradictory tasks. The fixed installation position requires a bracket that is as immobile as possible, while the battery should actually be largely decoupled from the vehicle to protect it against shocks and vibrations. This means that a battery tray is always a technical compromise between fundamentally different requirements.

Battery trays for all models

In short, there is a reason why there is a wide range of battery trays, housings, base plates and, in addition, retaining straps made of rubber or sheet steel. Battery mats and foam rubber are used for vibration decoupling, and protection against excessive heat is also available.

We have reproductions of the battery holders for the earliest models since 1915: J, JD,D, R, V and, of course, everything to accommodate a battery in a Horseshoe oil tank (1936-1964), or for the later electric start models.
