🔋 HEAVY DUTY DUAL BATTERY TRAY SUITS TOYOTA HILUX (2015–ONWARDS)

Vehicle-Specific Heavy-Duty Auxiliary Battery Tray – Designed for Toyota Hilux Engine Bay Installations

🔋 Add a dedicated auxiliary battery to your Toyota Hilux with a purpose-designed heavy-duty battery mounting solution from Projecta.

The Projecta Heavy Duty Dual Battery Tray is engineered for compatible Toyota Hilux vehicles from 2015 onwards, providing a dedicated mounting platform for an auxiliary battery within the vehicle's engine bay.

Rather than adapting a universal battery tray or fabricating a mounting solution from scratch, Projecta's heavy-duty battery tray range has been developed around specific vehicle applications to provide a cleaner and more straightforward installation.

According to the supplied product information, these trays are engineered to install without the inconvenience of modifying the battery tray itself or parts of the vehicle.

🚙 DESIGNED FOR THE TOYOTA HILUX

This Projecta Heavy Duty Dual Battery Tray is designed for compatible Toyota Hilux vehicles from 2015 onwards.

A vehicle-specific battery tray provides a cleaner solution than adapting a generic tray to the available engine-bay space.

This is particularly useful in touring, towing, commercial and off-road installations where secure battery mounting, bonnet clearance and clearance from surrounding engine-bay components all need to be considered carefully.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Confirm the exact Toyota Hilux model, engine configuration and engine-bay layout before ordering. “2015 onwards” does not automatically guarantee identical fitment across every model update, engine variant, specification or modified vehicle.


🔋 IDEAL FOR DUAL-BATTERY INSTALLATIONS

An auxiliary battery can provide a dedicated source of power for compatible touring, camping and work accessories when incorporated into a correctly designed dual-battery electrical system.

Depending on the selected battery and complete electrical installation, an auxiliary battery may support compatible equipment such as:

  • ❄️ 12V fridges and freezers
  • 💡 Camp and work lighting
  • 📱 USB and device charging
  • 📡 Communications equipment
  • 🔌 12V accessory outlets
  • 🏕️ Touring and camping accessories
  • 🛠️ Work and service equipment
  • ⚡ Compatible inverter systems

The Projecta tray provides the physical mounting platform for the auxiliary battery and forms one component of the complete dual-battery installation.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: The battery tray itself does not charge, isolate or electrically protect the auxiliary battery. Suitable charging equipment, cabling and circuit protection are required separately as part of the complete electrical installation.


🛡️ HEAVY-DUTY ENGINE BAY MOUNTING

Engine-bay battery installations are exposed to heat, vibration and constant vehicle movement, making secure battery mounting particularly important.

Projecta's heavy-duty battery-tray range provides a dedicated mounting solution for compatible automotive auxiliary-battery installations.

A purpose-designed vehicle-specific tray can also provide a cleaner and more organised result than improvised brackets or universal mounting arrangements.


🔧 VEHICLE-SPECIFIC FITMENT

The supplied product information states that Projecta's latest heavy-duty battery trays are engineered to fit specific vehicle types.

This approach is intended to reduce the inconvenience of modifying either the tray or surrounding vehicle components during installation.

Advantages of a vehicle-specific battery tray can include:

  • Purpose-designed mounting position
  • Cleaner engine-bay installation
  • Reduced need for fabrication
  • More straightforward auxiliary-battery mounting
  • Better integration with the intended vehicle layout

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Existing aftermarket accessories or previous vehicle modifications may still affect fitment. Inspect the intended mounting position before installation.


🏕️ BUILT FOR TOURING, CAMPING & WORK VEHICLES

The Toyota Hilux is a popular platform for touring, towing, camping, off-road and commercial applications where additional auxiliary battery capacity can be valuable.

A correctly installed auxiliary battery allows compatible accessories to operate from a separate battery system rather than relying solely on the vehicle's starting battery.

The Projecta tray provides the dedicated mounting foundation needed to securely position that auxiliary battery within the vehicle engine bay.


⚡ COMPLETE DUAL-BATTERY SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

A battery tray is only one component of a complete auxiliary-battery installation.

Depending on the vehicle, selected battery and intended electrical loads, the system may also require:

  • 🔋 Suitable auxiliary battery
  • ⚡ Appropriate DC-DC charger or charging system
  • 🔌 Correctly sized battery cable
  • 🛡️ Suitable fuse or circuit-breaker protection
  • 🔩 Quality cable lugs and battery terminals
  • 🔗 Suitable battery isolation or charging control equipment
  • 📍 Secure cable routing and mechanical protection

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Charging equipment must be selected to suit both the exact vehicle electrical system and the chemistry and charging requirements of the auxiliary battery.


⚡ LATER-MODEL VEHICLE CHARGING CONSIDERATIONS

The battery tray itself is purely a mechanical mounting component and does not determine how the auxiliary battery should be charged.

Later-model vehicles may use electronically controlled charging systems, so the appropriate auxiliary-battery charging method should be selected to suit the actual vehicle and battery installation.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Confirm the charging characteristics of the exact Toyota Hilux before selecting auxiliary-battery charging equipment. Do not assume every engine or model configuration should use the same charging method.


🔋 BATTERY SIZE & COMPATIBILITY

The supplied product information does not state the exact maximum battery dimensions, battery group size, maximum battery weight or terminal configuration supported by this tray.

Before selecting an auxiliary battery, confirm:

  • Battery length
  • Battery width
  • Battery height
  • Battery terminal position
  • Terminal and cable clearance
  • Battery weight
  • Bonnet clearance
  • Clearance from surrounding engine-bay components

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do not assume every automotive, AGM or lithium battery will fit this tray. Confirm the selected battery dimensions and installation requirements against current Projecta fitment information before purchase.


🌡️ ENGINE BAY BATTERY CONSIDERATIONS

Because this tray is intended for an engine-bay installation, the selected auxiliary battery must also be suitable for the environmental conditions found under the bonnet.

Engine-bay conditions can include:

  • High ambient temperatures
  • Heat cycling
  • Vehicle vibration
  • Dust and contamination
  • Moisture

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Not all lithium batteries are approved for engine-bay installation. Confirm the specific battery manufacturer's temperature, environmental and mounting requirements before fitting a lithium battery under the bonnet.


🔧 CHECK EXISTING ACCESSORIES BEFORE INSTALLATION

Toyota Hilux vehicles are frequently modified for touring, towing, off-road and work use, and existing accessories may affect the available engine-bay space.

Potential items that may interfere with the intended battery-tray position include:

  • Aftermarket electrical equipment
  • Air-intake or snorkel components
  • Air compressors
  • Additional filtration equipment
  • Engine-bay accessory brackets
  • Performance modifications
  • Other under-bonnet accessories

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Inspect the actual vehicle before installation if it has been modified from its original configuration.
