Abstract
A storage compartment mounted to the floor of a motor vehicle under a seat. The compartment is for storing vehicle components such as car batteries. The compartment includes an opening secured by a strap and the strap is held in place by a removable fastener and a passive restraint. The passive restraint is meant to secure the strap when the removable fastener is not in place so that the contents of the compartment may not exit the compartment.
