Southwire 975 Crossbar Battery Hold Down

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 975 is a crossbar-style automotive battery hold down designed to secure a battery in its tray and prevent movement caused by vibration or road shock. This type of hardware is a standard component in automotive and light-duty vehicle electrical systems. The hold down fastens across the top or base of the battery to keep it firmly seated, protecting both the battery and surrounding components from damage. Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians or electricians working on vehicle electrical systems. The 975 weighs 6.96 pounds.

This crossbar hold down is suited for use in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and similar automotive applications where battery retention hardware must be replaced or upgraded. It is appropriate for shop use during routine battery service, battery replacement, or electrical system repair. The crossbar design distributes clamping force evenly across the battery casing, which is important for maintaining secure fitment in high-vibration environments.
