ABSTRACT:
Universal battery hold-down structure particularly including an elongated bolt having a J-shaped lower end for securing the bolt to a battery tray and means to facilitate shortening of the bolt, a chrome plated non-corrosive elongated wing nut having a threaded opening in the lower end thereof for receiving the upper end of the bolt and including a dual external diameter forming an annular abutment adjacent the other end thereof for clamping a battery strap over the top of a battery positioned in the battery tray in conjunction with a resilient washer and a polished stainless steel washer sleeved over the non-corrosive wing nut and positioned between the strap end and washer and between the resilient washer and annular abutment. The wing nut includes radially extending wings which facilitate installation of the battery hold-down structure without tools and extends for approximately one quarter of the way down the side of a batteyr thereby to remove the joint between the nut and bolt from the most corrosive battery environment.
