Abstract
A device for securing an electric storage battery against theft and holding it in the battery support tray provided in an automotive vehicle. The device includes special stanchions which extend upwardly from the battery support tray to support a rigid plate in overlaying relationship with respect to the top of the battery. The plate is attached to the stanchions with special anti-theft fastener assemblies which require the use of a special removal tool, and a battery hold-down pad is interposed between the plate and the battery to hold it in place.
