Battery tray does not fully extend (630Ah lithium)

[Steph and Dud B]

Question for anyone else with Platinum Lithium package (630Ah): does your battery tray fully extend? Ours only has enough cable to extend about half way.

It looks like the wire ties are keeping it from being able to come all the way out.

Same for us Dud.  The lines connected to the front terminals are too short to allow the tray to fully extend.

I’d check with Jason to see if this is intentional.

 I wonder if it could be a cable management issue. Would those large cables fall down behind the tray enough to cause problems with sliding the tray back in? We’re have had similar problems with our cables in the back of our truck, where we have a large pull out tray.

I am pretty certain it is the "Cable Management Issue".   They are big heavy cables and in the case of ours, it is a bit too short to allow the tray to fully slide out. After examining it, I believe it comes out enough to do anything I would need to do in there.  Any longer the cables wouldn't neatly tuck up in there without some possible binding or interference.

Appears that some folks think that Litho's are maintenance free.  They sort of may be, but all the other stuff we put in there are not.

In the ole days we would use high mounted light tension springs to encourage the cables to stay out harms way.
