Key Features
🔋
Group 27 Battery Compatible
Designed to accommodate a Group 27 battery or equivalent 12-1/16 by 6-7/8 inch battery size. The inside pan measures 12-7/8 by 18 inches for flexible cargo use.
💪
500-Pound Rated Tracks
The same extreme duty tracks used across the Tembo Tusk slide lineup — rated at up to 500 pounds and built to handle heavy, constant use.
🔒
Locks In and Out
The tray locks securely in both the closed and extended positions so your batteries stay put during off-road driving and slide out smoothly when you need access.
📏
Low-Profile Design
The slide pan sits just one inch above the bolt-down location, keeping the overall height to a minimum for tight installations.
Extreme Duty, Built to Last
The Battery Tray Slide is part of Tembo Tusk's Extreme Duty lineup, meaning it is built with the same heavy-duty tracks and rugged construction found in their fridge and cargo slides. Whether you are running a lithium setup, lead-acid batteries, or using the tray for small cargo, the 500-pound rated tracks handle it without breaking a sweat.
The included adjustable tie-down brackets keep your batteries from shifting during rough off-road driving. And because the tray locks in both the open and closed positions, you get reliable, secure access every time. Pair it with Tembo Tusk fridge straps if you plan to use the tray for a small fridge or cargo that needs extra securing.
