Uriah ProductsUV002500 Adjustable, Universal Crossbar, Battery Hold Down

I read several reviews before about this. It is a universal battery hold down. So that means you may need to make some modifications. It is nice and sturdy and works well. The hold down bolts are really long so you will need to cut them probably. I just put them in with the hold down in and marked about an inch above - took them out and cut them. Easy. The hold down bolts are L-shaped and not j-shaped or a hook. Easy. I just put them in a vice and smacked the end with a hammer. Boom they are now a J to V shaped on the end and hook perfectly. The battery hold down itself has ridges that will prevent you from tightening up the wing nuts. To solve this issue you can stack washers or a nut and a washer or you can just flatten the ridges with a hammer on the same vice you just used to bend the ends. Easy. The reviews were kinda funny to read since this is universal and will probably need some type of modification to make it work. The only drawback was that they didn’t include a thick washer to ride under the wing nut. That would have solved the ridges problem. And it was on the picture so. Other than that, pretty nice hold down. With all the modifications it probably took 15 minutes to install.

As of 08-27-24 I can say that this battery holder is great. Has been holding well for all these years. Holds regular battery (non lithium" so it does not show signs od rust yet... might upload a pic if I can

I get that this is a universal product and isn't going to fit every vehicle perfect. That being said I had to bend the metal lip around the holes where you tighten the wing nuts. They made it too small to be able to tighten them down without the "wings" of the nut hitting the edge. This is just a poor design and has nothing to do with the universal aspect of this product. That's why only 4 stars. I also had to cut the "j" hooks to a length that would fit, but I'm not knocking off any points for that. Overall this is a good product and is holding my battery very firm.

This battery hold-down fits almost any moderate sized vehicle, thanks to its variety of adjustments. I ordered extras just to keep them handy for my customers cars. They’re less expensive & better designed than other available types 👍🏻👍🏻

Had to cut the bolts down and grind down the ears on the bracket where the wingnuts sit. Full length bolts wouldn't allow hood to close, had to cut a few inches off, also had to grind down the ears on the bracket because the wingnuts didn't clear so I was unable to get them very tight without doing some grinding. Also for my application I needed to bend the bottom sections of the bolt about 20 degrees to make sure they actually grabbed and so I was able to put some torque on the wingnuts without them trying to spin/ pop out of their designated holes on the battery tray. With all that being said I would purchase again because it is a good heavy duty bracket at an excellent cost

The battery hold down is sturdy and a good product... the only thing that needs improvement is the tabs that stick up on the side of the wing nut stop the wing nut from tightening the cross bar down. I just used a crescent wrench or hammer to bend the tabs down a little as shown in the pic. The other issue is the metal rods are not bent at a angle its the shape of L. I put the metal bar in a vise and hit it a bunch of times in till the L shape was bent to a V shape.... other than that its a good buy!

A certain popular store had sold me and "installed" a car battery. I later discovered they didn't bother to put back the hold down clamp, so the battery was able to move around. I bought this basic clamp. It installed easily. The bracket that goes over the center of the battery is adjustable to fit the width of your car's battery tray. The long bolt/hooks then grab onto the bottom of your existing battery tray. Since the bracket's adjustable, and the bolts are long, this hold down clamp's pretty much universal and easy to install.

This kit has so many design flaws. The L-shaped bolts are over 9" long, not 8" as described in product detail. Check to make sure they fit under your hood as they make stick up too high to close car hood. The major flaw with this is the L-shaped elbow which is supposed to slip into a metal loop at your battery base and when attached and tightened to top bracket will hold battery in place. Because they are L-shaped, not J-Shaped, the bolts slide around lower brackets and slip off when trying to tighten top bolts. Product picture shows it comes with 2 washers but it does not. Needs to include 2 lock washers so wingnuts will not untighten from car vibrations and jolts while driving. The 2 wingnuts are a great idea for easy tightening during periodic maintenance, but you cannot tighten them down on both sides because on one side of the bracket the wingnut hits the top of bracket and will not turn down tight. Learn from my oversight and buy a battery holddown kit with J-shaped bolts.

Medida perfecta!

Replaced an existing carrier; better material and fit.

Upgrade my battery on my 05 CRV from the little 51r to an AGM 35. One of the jhook would not fit in the OEM jhook hole so had to use 1 OEM hook. Not a big deal.Holds down the battery tight, easy to adjust.

Se adapto muy bien a la batería de un Jeep, es fácil de instalar y queda bien asegurada

Se instala muy fácil y los materiales son de buena calidad
