PSA Stainless Steel Battery Trays Are Back - Pics of Instal

[calphi27]

I thought these were long gone. I checked the site, and he has some 60 series trays available. I ordered and received my tray via priority mail within three days.

All hardware was included and it is a half job.

What about the NON Optima folks running the 34s?

Got mine....gonna install it when I do my snorkel

Hey Joey, if you go to their sight they have a hold down for 34's

Yeah but its for an Optima 34. My guess is that it is designed to slide into the groove on the battery. If I go with the Sears Platinum then I dont think it will hold down right. I could be wrong but just wanted to make sure.

I ordered two trays the other day....not made it to my place yet. I emailed about hold downs for the 78 series batteries...not heard back yet. I wanted to run two full size batteries like fit my suburban...which as I recall are 78 series. I think he listed a 78 series hold down and that's what I emailed about.

can others view the pdf attachement above? I can't....I do have adove reader installed on the computer I'm using to access the web site from home.

PDF link not workie.

But if you are rocking Deka's then the Odyssey/Platinum question is now moot.

 

[calphi27]

They gave me a AGM Deka Seamate & RV Battery. Group size 27 model 8A27M

Fits the tray PERFECTLY.

I hear you...I just might sell my S.S. Tray since it won't accommodate my Sears Platinum 34 and get a "new" toyota battery tray.

I went back-and-forth with the guy from this place and told him which battery I had(Sears Platinum Marine G34) and he said what he had wouldn't work. Besides, what he does have that we're thinking would work, is out of stock.

Edit: This is from the website directly:

"This all stainless hold down will accomidate Optima group size 34 and 34/78 batteries. Comes with J-bolt and hardware. Will work with stock tray."

leads me to believe that it'd work on any/most Group 34 sized batteries? I guess I can order it and send the wrong one back and report my findings.

I was gonna go with the 4+ trays from MAF, but they used to be $89 - Now they went up to $125 !! So the SS tray seems like a viable option again... Particularly if they now fit group 34 Die Hard.

Mine didn't fit a 34M Sears marine battery. And the guy doesn't make one-off hold downs. But, I could probably make a hold down for it myself....if I knew how to weld!!!

Wicked! I wish I wasn't broke as hell

x2 on that!

Some time ago I had enough to buy two and was wanting them badly.... But now, I'm broke and would hate to miss out on these....

Oh well, hopefully there is still some avail when I get some change to spare.

?.... What are all these battery types sizes I'm hearing about??????????????????? I figured "A red top is a red top"...

Sears doesn't have a "red top" Platinum

That's an easy fix..just score a welder off of ebay and practice practice practice......

I got two and the look nice under the hood...... Now I gotta do a two battery set up....

I think you could fab a battery clamp easy enough....

 

[NocalFJ60]

These trays are nice. I have been happy with mine.

i've had mine for years, just added a second batt (dual batt setup w/ BIC). I've run all sorts of batt's with mine in the past, mainly the group 34 optimas. Yellow and now dual blue. But - they should be easy to slightly modify to fit just about any. thread the post a bit further down, insert some rubber pads on the hold down and it will hold more than just the optima 34's.

Noel is a great guy - he'll get back to you. Remember he's a businessman so if you guys show enough interest in a non-optima hold down i bet he can make them. I've spoken with him and actually had these before he updated his site that they were available again. I even have the water bottle relocation bracket which was one of his prototypes. Now once i desmog i'll actually use it, but it's cool!

GL!
