Battery tray mounted in rear trunk corner for fuel cell.
Duct tape the hooks into the holes to help in the assembly process.
Place the battery onto the tray with the positive terminal on the driver’s side.
One by one, wipe clean of any grease/oil on the hook bolt. Using
JB Weld or silicone, cover each hook
before they are inserted into the holes drilled for them. This will help prevent any hook from coming
out if it is not tight.
As you tighten the battery plate upward, make sure that the battery brace is lined up with the depression
on the battery and make sure the battery is straight.
Tighten the battery down until it is snug against the frame and does not move. Do not over tighten and
bow the sides of the battery causing damage to the battery. The bolts should be tightened evenly and
none should be loose.
