Default Relacement battery tray questions..

Hi all. First off I have a 2000 Sport that I am trying to bring up to speed. I cracked the battery tray taking the bolts out and need to replace it. I'm just curious if I can use the replacement one at autozone or do I need the own tray because of the sensor? Mind you I'm only asking because I'm really new at this stuff. Thanks in advance.

It was supposed to say "or do I have to get the oem tray??". Damn autocorrect

I'd say make one up, or if it's fixable try to plastic weld it.

If not go to the jy and rip one out from a '97-'01

Max from Dirtbound Offroad is supposed to be making an XJ-specific battery tray soon. Otherwise, balisticfab makes a universal tray

I was wondering what the H a sensor on the battery tray would do. Google showed me this..
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20 degrees F. Well now I know

Bump from the dead !
Why does it appear to be spring loaded ?

That is the battery temp sensor so my guess is that it actually needs to be in contact with the batter to do its job.
Hence the spring.
