ARONOVA Passenger-Side Battery Tray — Direct-Fit for GM Trucks & SUVs, 16-Gauge Steel, Powder-Coated

ARONOVA passenger-side battery tray is a direct-fit replacement for many Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs, designed to restore secure battery mounting and corrosion resistance.

If your vehicle’s passenger-side battery tray is rusted, cracked or missing mounting points, this ARONOVA aftermarket tray is built as a durable, cost-effective replacement. Manufactured from heavy-duty 16-gauge steel with a thermoset baked-on premium powder coat, the tray resists chips and surface corrosion while returning the battery to proper alignment and support. It is produced to match factory mounting locations and fits a broad range of late‑1990s through mid‑2000s GM full-size trucks and SUVs—review fitment closely to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Which vehicles will this battery tray fit?

The tray is engineered for passenger-side battery installations on many GM models from roughly 1999 to 2007. It covers specific model years across Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Avalanche, and GMC Sierra, Yukon and their long-wheelbase variants. Always compare the ARONOVA tray to your original part and check the OEM part number when in doubt.

• Cadillac Escalade: 2002–2006 (including ESV and EXT variations)
• Chevrolet: Silverado 1500/2500/3500 (select years 1999–2007), Suburban and Tahoe (2000–2006), Avalanche (2002–2006)
• GMC: Sierra 1500/2500/3500 and Yukon/Yukon XL (covering model years around 1999–2007)
• OEM reference: part number 15246518—use this to verify compatibility

How does the ARONOVA tray stand up to road salt and moisture?

The tray’s corrosion protection comes from both material choice and finish. Heavy-gauge steel provides structural strength while the thermoset baked-on powder coat forms a durable barrier that adheres tightly and resists flaking under vibration. This combination helps prevent premature rusting where battery acid or road contaminants might contact the metal.

• 16-gauge steel core for rigidity and impact resistance
• Thermoset baked powder-coat finish for long-term corrosion protection
• Finish minimizes chipping from road debris and handling during installation

Is this an easy swap, and what installation details should I know?

For mechanically inclined DIYers, installation is typically straightforward because the tray is made to align with factory mounting points. You’ll need basic hand tools and to transfer any original hardware, clamps, or insulating pads from the old tray. Inspect surrounding cables and hold-downs during replacement and replace any brittle or corroded fasteners for a secure fit.

• Direct-fit design matches factory bolt locations for many GM models
• Requires standard sockets and wrenches; no specialty tools expected
• Compare the new tray to the old part and confirm OEM number 15246518

What should I check before ordering to avoid the wrong part?

Fitment varies by model year, trim and truck bed or engine compartment layout—careful comparison prevents returns. Cross-check the vehicle make, model and year against the fitment list and visually compare mounting brackets and bolt patterns to your old tray. If your truck has aftermarket modifications, verify that the tray will clear nearby components and battery hold-down hardware.

• Review the vehicle year ranges and model names listed above
• Compare photographs of your existing tray to the ARONOVA part image
• Confirm OEM part number 15246518 if available from your dealer records
