Granatelli Motor Sports Billet Battery Tray Clear Anodized with Black Hold-Down

A Clean, Secure Battery Mounting Solution for Street Performance and Custom Builds

The Granatelli Motor Sports GMS452213 is a billet aluminum battery tray machined for batteries measuring 10.625 inches long by 7.00 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall, finished in clear anodize and paired with a black billet aluminum hold-down. It provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant mounting platform for Optima and similarly-dimensioned performance batteries in engine bays, trunks, and custom battery relocation builds where a clean, professional appearance matters as much as function. The clear anodized finish protects the aluminum surface against corrosion in the undercar and engine bay environment, and the black billet hold-down clamps across the top of the battery to prevent lateral and vertical movement under hard acceleration, braking, and cornering.

Key Features

• Billet Aluminum Construction: Machined from billet aluminum for rigidity and a premium finished appearance compared to stamped steel or plastic tray alternatives
• Clear Anodized Finish: Anodized surface layer provides corrosion resistance and a natural aluminum appearance suitable for visible engine bay and trunk installations
• Black Billet Aluminum Hold-Down: Included hold-down clamps across the top of the battery to prevent movement during performance driving and hard launches
• Sized for Optima and Similar Performance Batteries: Designed for batteries measuring 10.625 in L x 7.00 in W x 7.25 in H, including Optima Group 34 and dimensionally equivalent batteries
• Universal Fit: Not vehicle-specific; suitable for any application with space to accommodate the tray and battery dimensions
• Suitable for Rear Battery Relocation: Clean enough for trunk-mounted or custom battery relocation builds where the tray is visible

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a Granatelli Motor Sports billet aluminum battery tray in clear anodized finish, designed for batteries measuring 10.625 in L x 7.00 in W x 7.25 in H. It includes a black billet aluminum hold-down and mounting hardware for a secure, clean installation in engine bays, trunks, or custom battery relocation setups.

This tray is sized for batteries measuring 10.625 inches long by 7.00 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall. Optima Group 34 batteries and other performance batteries with these same or smaller dimensions are compatible. Measure your battery before ordering to confirm it will seat correctly in the tray.

This is a universal battery tray not engineered for any specific vehicle. Installation requires fabrication or custom mounting hardware to secure it to your chosen location. Measure the available space in your engine bay, trunk, or custom mounting position before ordering.

Billet aluminum is machined from a solid block rather than formed from sheet or cast, producing a denser, more precise part with a premium machined appearance. For battery trays, billet construction provides higher strength and rigidity than stamped steel alternatives and a significantly cleaner look than plastic trays, making it well-suited for show-level engine bays and custom builds where the tray is visible.

Yes. The black billet aluminum hold-down clamps across the top of the battery to prevent lateral and vertical movement. This is particularly important in performance builds where hard acceleration, high-g cornering, and heavy braking can shift an unsecured battery, potentially damaging terminals, cables, or surrounding components.

Yes. This universal tray works well in rear battery relocation builds where the battery is moved to the trunk or rear of the chassis for weight distribution. Ensure the tray is securely mounted to the vehicle structure and that all battery cables are properly routed, protected, and sized for the extended length when relocating to the rear.

Clear anodizing creates a hardened oxide layer on the aluminum surface that significantly improves corrosion resistance compared to bare aluminum. While the anodized surface offers better protection than raw aluminum, direct or prolonged exposure to battery acid should still be avoided. Inspect the tray periodically and treat with a battery terminal protector spray as part of routine maintenance.

This tray ships with mounting hardware, but installation in most custom applications requires additional fabrication, brackets, or vehicle-specific hardware to secure the tray base to the mounting surface. The specific fastener type and bracket requirements depend on your vehicle and chosen mounting location.

Installation Instructions

1. Select the battery mounting location in the engine bay, trunk, or custom chassis position and confirm adequate clearance for the tray and battery dimensions.
2. Measure and mark the mounting hole locations for the tray base using the tray as a template against the mounting surface.
3. Drill and install appropriate fastener provisions at the marked locations on the mounting surface.
4. Secure the tray to the mounting surface using the included hardware and confirm it is level, rigid, and free of movement.
5. Place the battery in the tray and verify it fits within the tray dimensions without rocking or shifting side to side.
6. Position the black billet hold-down across the top of the battery and fasten it to the hold-down mounting points on the tray sides.
7. Connect battery cables to the battery terminals and route all cables away from heat sources, sharp edges, and moving components.
8. Apply terminal protector spray to the cable connections, confirm all connections are tight, and verify there are no loose wires or cables before reconnecting power.
