Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why does my battery still move after installing the HD-34BS?
The battery should be centered on the base with the side ears tightened firmly against it. Loose mounting hardware can allow unwanted movement during driving.
- • How can I stop the hold-down screws from backing out?
For a permanent installation, XS Power recommends using a couple of drops of blue Loctite on each screw thread to help prevent loosening from vibration.
- • Could tightening the HD-34BS too much damage my battery?
Yes. The ears only need enough pressure to hold the battery securely; XS Power specifically warns against over-tightening them.
- • Why doesn't the HD-34BS line up with my original battery mounting holes?
The HD-34BS requires its own mounting location and hardware, so the existing factory holes may not match your installation layout.
- • Do the rubber bumpers really matter during installation?
They are optional, but placing one under each battery corner can provide additional cushioning between the battery and the billet base.
- • Can engine vibration make the battery hold-down loosen over time?
It can. XS Power specifically recommends thread-locking the screws for permanent installations because vibration may gradually loosen hardware.
- • Will the HD-34BS work with batteries other than the XS Power 3400 series?
The base is designed around the 3400-series battery case, so using a different battery size may leave the ears or mounting surface improperly positioned.
- • Why is my battery sitting unevenly on the hold-down base?
Check that the battery is centered and that the optional rubber bumpers are positioned correctly at the four corners before tightening the ears.
- • Can a loose battery mount cause problems in a high-power audio vehicle?
Yes. A battery that shifts during driving can place additional stress on connected cables and terminals, making a properly secured hold-down especially important for demanding installations.
- • What should I check if the HD-34BS doesn't feel secure after installation?
Recheck the base mounting hardware, battery position, ear screws, and contact points. The ears should hold the battery firmly without crushing or excessively squeezing the case.
