    Battery tray size for a 100ah Ionic Lithium

    The battery trays for my group 31 lead acid batteries seem a little big for the 100ah Ionic batteries that I just installed. I have the Lithiums strapped down tight but I'm still worried they might slide around some. Has anyone found this to be an issue and if so how did you fix it? Maybe putting some nonskid material under the batteries? Thanks

    For my 50's ah & 100ah, i put a piece of foam matt under them....not to keep them from sliding but for cushion.

    I replaced my group 24 starting battery with a group 27 and the only tray i could find was about 1/2" too long, so i used a piece of wood trim to make the battery fit snug and tight, hopefully these Lithuim battery manufactures can start producing the proper battery trays for their products !

    Find a local fab shop and have one made or if you have a welding school, see if the kids can make one.....
