Abstract

An elastomeric battery holddown strap is formed to include two edge brackets joined by a rectangular strip, the edge brackets having triangular gussets to increase the stiffness thereof. An insert is installed into each edge bracket for receipt of hold down fasteners tying the battery to the structure of the car, the compliant form of the rectangular joining strip allowing for any necessary alignment to accommodate all variants of battery venting.
