$50 is a good price for that bracket. Unfortunately it needs an Optimum battery or perhaps another side terminal battery. My S10 battery has a similar bottom clamp. If/when my OEM battery dies, I'd like to convert to side terminal. Never seen terminal or clamp corrosion on a side terminal.

Thanks for the post.

No problem. I been needing a new battery tray for awhile. I was actually browsing through the vendor section and found it. Seems like the OEM one is under designed since I find them broken or already picked from the junkyards. I think this bracket will work with Odyssey too, but that's just a guess.

That's actually cheaper than a new Mopar battery bracket. I broke mine last year and could not find one in any jy so had to go to the dealership and the sold them for 75$. I wish I had known about this one, looks tougher!
