PTUNING Billet Aluminum Lightweight Battery Tray
If you are in the market for a mini battery to shed some weight off your FR-S/BRZ for auto crossing, road racing, or even street driving and need a bolt-on battery mounting tray to properly secure the mini battery, we have the solution.
Our billet battery tray is design to properly mount over half a dozen popular mini battery sizes including: Odyssey, Braille, and Shorai (more applications to come). The custom FR-S/BRZ-specific mounting base plate is laser cut and CNC bent from 1/8" thick aluminum plate and utilizes three factory mounting points for added safety. The third mounting point keeps the battery from rocking back and forth during hard braking and acceleration. The mounting tray is finished in a smooth black protective coating. The battery tray is CNC machined from 1/2" thick T6061 aluminum billet and anodized black. The battery tie-down is CNC machined from 5/8" thick T6061 aluminum billet and is secure to the battery tray with 3/8" SS counter-sunk socket head cap bolt for a clean yet strong battery tie-down. The battery tie-down is anodized black and engraved with the PTUNING "Round" logo. The modular billet battery tray can be converted to hold a 4 pound battery up to a 15 pound battery by simply changing out to the correct length tie-down bolts. This modular setup allows you to switch from one battery to another without having to buy a completely new battery mounting kit. This modular setup will also offer you the option of mounting our air oil separator catch can to the battery tray (AOS catch can in development) and can also be mounted to our future water/meth injection kit. Design Features: - Modular design accommodates over seven different mini battery sizes (more battery fitment applications to come). Billet battery tray and tie-down can also be used with our soon-to-be-released water/meth injection kit. - Laser cut and CNC bent FR-S/BRZ-specific battery mounting tray with three bolt-on mounting points. - Battery tray kit does not utilize any of the existing factory battery tray, mounting bracket, or j-hooks for a clean installation. - CNC machined and anodized billet aluminum battery tray with recess pockets to keep battery in-place and also contain any potential battery leakage. - CNC machined and anodized billet aluminum battery tie-down with PTUNING "Round" logo engraving. - 3/8" Stainless Steel battery tie-down bolts and zinc plated and stainless mounting hardware. - Custom wing nut to utilize the factory tie-down mounting location and eliminates the unsightly factory j-hooks. - Modular base plate mounting system allows for mounting of optional air oil separator catch can to battery tray. - Battery tray kit with hardware weighs 30 oz. without battery. - Battery tray kit with a Shorai LFX36L3-BS12 lithium ion battery totals 6.8 lbs vs the factory battery and hardware at 31.4 lbs. That’s a weight savings of over 24 lbs. Battery Fitment: - Odyssey PC680/PC680MJ - Odyssey PC545 - Odyssey PC310 - Braille B106 - Braille B129 - Braille B14115 - Braille B2015 - Shorai LFX36L3-BS12 - Ballistic Evo2 16Cell HD <= new fitment application 9/13/2013 - Shorai LFX14L2-BS12 <= new fitment application 9/26/2013 - And more to fitment to come… NOTE: Battery tray kit does not include battery. We can recommend some online stores that offers great pricing on the Odyssey, Braille, and Shorai batteries.

Very nice! I need to fix my ghetto install!

@dwx, Intro pricing link added in OP and here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46050
MrC |
this is different than the tray required for those who wish to run your water/meth injection correct?

If you purchase our billet battery tray and decide you want to use our WMI kit in the future, you will be able to use the same battery tray/tie down and bolt it directly onto our WMI tray. Our WMI tray comes with and without the billet battery tray for customers who already purchase our battery tray. This way, you can upgrade later to the WMI/Mini battery setup without having to ditch your existing PTUNING battery tray:thumbup: I hope that makes sense. MrC |
Yes it did! Thank you very much! Will be ordering once I have my turbo installed by you guys.. Still saving for the clutch and flywheel

4.8" (L) x 3.4" (W) x 5.8" (H) are the dimensions on the battery. Here is a pic of one mounted with the stock tray. I also have the foam insert for the battery to sit in which makes it a little taller, and it actually fits the stock battery tray pretty well, but it can be trimmed to fit if need be. I am a sucker for the bling. https://sphotos-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/h...83770075_n.jpg |
Very nice indeed. I will more then likely be picking up one of these when i get my turbo installed. :w00t: Y'all sell the battery's at your shop correct?

Ahh looks like I actually ordered the square one and not the HD since the HD is a little heavier.
|
How about one for the Ballistic 16 cell evo 2? LMK ready to buy.

That's the discussion we were just having. If you have the EVO2 HD (which stands for Harley Davidson) it will work but not the regular EVO2 which is a square battery.
|
Looks good! Glad you guys decided to make this.

We can only accommodate the Evo2 16CellHD 4.8" (L) x 3.4" (W) x 5.8" (H) and not the non-HD model. But we still need to verify that the ballistic battery comes with some sort of foam cushion to cover the "balance charging" port on top so that our tie-down can be used to secure the battery properly. Does any one have the Evo2 16Cell HD battery and does it come with a foam cover that can be used between the terminal for a tie-down. MrC |
Ah nuts, already ordered the square non HD.

LOL. you too. Time for swap. The evo2 HD casing size is more in line with most of the mini AGM batteries out there. the evo2 16 cell "Square" casing is just odd. There's only a 10 gram diff between the HD and non HD which is about the weight of 2 quarter--which is negligible. We still need access to the evo2 16cellHD battery to confirm fitment of the tie-down due to the "balance charger" port. If anyone want to volunteer their battery, please pm me. MrC |

What I can do is exchange my battery for the 16 cell Evo2 HD and have it shipped to you guys directly, then you can ship the battery and tray to me once you're done with it. LMK Asgar |

While the countersunk allen head bolts look nice, I am not exactly happy about having to add another tool to my tool bag, just for this one part. A 10mm or 12mm hex head would have been preferable, since those are "must-have" wrench sizes for this car.

Oh, I know that, but I carry a "minimal" tool kit with me at all times. Many Japanese car mfgs use only 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 and 21mm for almost every fastener on the entire car, and having to add a tool for one specific aftermarket part is an annoyance. Certainly not the end of the world, but I wish more aftermarket part manufacturers would think of such things. Usually the cause for the annoyance is when I'm in the middle of working on the car in the garage, and then run across that one non-standard fastener, which means I've got to trudge back into the basement to get the tool just for that one fastener. I'm not picking on you guys specifically. Ground Control made me add TWO tools to my tool kit, and Borla also made me add one. First World problems indeed.:iono: |

That's not to say that we couldn't supply someone with hex cap bolt vs socket head cap screws for all the fastener--it definitely won't look at clean but will still work.:thumbup: MrC |
We're getting in a Ballistic Evo2 16Cell HD battery in shortly and will confirm fitment with our existing tray. Thanks to @RiskyTrousers for volunteering his battery.
