Abstract
A battery tray assembly that includes a first member having a first interface surface and a first battery retaining surface. The first retaining surface retains a top surface of a first battery. A second member having a second interface surface and a second battery retaining surface retains a bottom surface of the second battery. A means for securing the first interface surface to the second interface surface joins the two batteries in a fixed position. The securing means may include a series of projections on one or both separator members and corresponding slots. A greater number of slots than projections enables a plurality of orientations between the first and second members.
