ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle has an enclosed battery storage compartment with a door separating the compartment from an adjacent support surface that has been roughened to reduce slippage of persons stepping thereon. A battery holder has a mounting base in the compartment and a battery cell support tray mounted on wheels for rolling between a position on top of the mounting base, where the battery cells are housed, and a position on the surface, where the battery cells are inspected and serviced. Mounted to the tray is a handle having a horizontally extending grip portion for grasping to move the handle or tray and a vertical projecting lock portion for engaging a keeper, mounted on the mounting base, to lock the tray in a stationary position. When the handle is in a tray locking position, the grip portion of the handle extends adjacent the tray and the compartment door can be closed, retaining the handle in its locked position. When the door is opened and the handle unlocked, the grip portion of the handle extends outwardly from the tray for moving the tray. Stops limit the outward movement of the tray from the compartment onto the adjacent support surface and guides are provided to restrain tray movement laterally of the normal direction of movement between the compartment and the support surface. Wheel retainers are provided to limit upward movement of the tray above the base.
