TITLE Battery Holddown ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A battery holddown (10) is disclosed including first and second brackets (16, 18) of identical construction. The brackets (16, 18) each includes a generally L-shaped clamp (20) having top and side plates (22, 24) for abutting with the top and sides of the battery. Ears (26) extend from the side plates (24) and include apertures (36) for slidable receipt of bolts (12) extending from the battery tray (14). The brackets (16, 18) each further includes a cross rod (28) including a vertical portion (32) extending from the top plate (22) and a horizontal portion (30) extending from the vertical portion (32). A U-shaped channel is formed by an L-shaped land (44) extending from the horizontal portion (30) adjacent its end and is of a size and shape for slideable receipt of the horizontal portion (30) of the other bracket (16, 18). A plurality of equally spaced lugs (52) upstand from the horizontal support portions (46) of the L-shaped lands (44) and engage with reinforcement ribs (42) of the horizontal portions (30) when the horizontal portions (30) are received in the channels and abut with the horizontal support portions (46). The channels bind on the horizontal portions (30) when the first and second brackets (16, 18) are drawn toward the battery tray (14) by tightening nuts (50) on the bolts (12) to prevent sliding or other relative movement of the brackets (16, 18) relative to each other.
