# How to Install an Anti-Gravity Battery
## How to install an Anti-Gravity battery in your Sprinter van for reliable start up performance.
#### 1. **Access the Battery Compartment**
- **Remove the Trim Plate**: Start by removing the trim plate covering the battery. Unscrew the screws holding the trim in place and lift it off.
- **Remove the Floor Mat**: Once the trim plate is off, lift out the rubberized floor mat. It is separate from the passenger side, so simply lift and set it aside.
#### 2. **Remove the Battery Tray Cover**
- **Loosen the Torx Bolts**: The battery tray is held in place by four Torx bolts. If your Sprinter Van has fewer, that’s fine; just loosen and remove the bolts holding the tray cover.
- **Remove the Tray Cover**: To remove the cover, slide it back and up. This will give you access to the battery.
#### 3. **Remove the Battery Bracket**
- **Locate the Bracket**: You will see a metal bracket holding the battery in place. This bracket is secured by two 10mm bolts on either side of the battery.
- **Unscrew the Bolts**: Use a 10mm socket to remove the two bolts. Once unscrewed, lift off the bracket to free the battery.
#### 4. **Modify the Bracket for the Anti-Gravity Battery**
- The anti-gravity battery is slightly longer than the factory battery, so a minor modification is required.
- **Grind or Sand the Bracket**: There are two small areas on the bracket that need to be ground down or shaved off. Use a grinder, knife, or sandpaper to remove a bit of material from these areas. This will allow the new battery to fit snugly.
- **Check Fitment**: After grinding the edges, ensure that the anti-gravity battery fits properly into the tray with the bracket.
#### 5. **Install the Anti-Gravity Battery**
- **Position the Battery**: Place the anti-gravity battery into the tray, ensuring it sits properly.
- **Reinstall the Bracket**: Once the battery is in place, reinstall the modified bracket over the battery using the two 10mm bolts to hold it securely.
#### 6. **Reassemble the Battery Cover and Trim**
- **Reattach the Battery Tray Cover**: Slide the battery tray cover back in place, aligning it with the original bolt holes. Secure it with the Torx bolts.
- **Replace the Floor Mat and Trim Plate**: Place the rubberized floor mat back into its position, and then reinstall the trim plate over the battery compartment.
#### 7. **Test the Battery**
- After completing the installation, turn on your Sprinter Van and test the battery to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
### Note:
- The anti-gravity battery is slightly larger, but with this modification, it will fit securely in the original compartment. Make sure the bracket is properly fastened to hold the battery in place.
