Using the Perrin battery tie down is easy. First, make sure your battery is an OEM size as the tie down is designed for it. Before installation, check your battery for any leaks from the caps on top. If there are leaks, replace the battery as battery acid can void the warranty. The installation process is quick and should take around 10 minutes. Just follow the included installation instructions. For maintenance, keep the tie down clean. Since it's powder coated, it has good durability, but avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the coating. This way, you can enjoy your stylish and functional battery tie down for years to come, thanks to the 5 - year manufacturer warranty.
