How to Use Your Battery Mat
The battery mat has two sides, one with the proprietary woven felt and the other has a rubbery texture.
When installing your battery mat, you will place the rubbery side down, to help keep your battery mat in place and secure.
The battery itself is placed on the felt side, which is designed to trap and absorb any acid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a battery mat?
A battery mat is a protective pad that sits underneath your battery. Batteries can slowly leak or seep acid over time — often without any visible signs — and that acid will eat through metal trays, corrode the surrounding area, and cause expensive damage. The mat soaks up any acid that escapes and stops it from going any further. It's a simple, inexpensive way to protect your vehicle or equipment from a problem that's easy to prevent but costly to fix.
How does it work?
The top of the mat is made from a special fiber that soaks up battery acid on contact and neutralizes it — meaning it makes the acid harmless. The bottom is a tough, waterproof layer that keeps anything absorbed in the mat from leaking through to the surface below. Think of it like a heavy-duty paper towel that doesn't just soak up spills, but actually destroys them. Once acid is in the mat, it stays there.
What size is the mat, and will it fit my battery?
The mat measures 12 inches by 8 inches — which fits most standard car, truck, and marine batteries right out of the package, no trimming needed. If your battery tray is smaller, it cuts easily with a pair of scissors. If you have multiple batteries side by side (like in a golf cart), just use one mat per battery for full coverage.
What can I use it with?
Just about anything that runs on a battery. Customers use this mat in cars, trucks, RVs, boats, golf carts, motorcycles, lawn tractors, and backup power systems. It's equally useful in a garage shop or storage area where batteries are kept or charged. If there's a battery sitting somewhere you care about protecting, this mat belongs under it.
Where exactly does the mat go?
Place the mat at the bottom of your battery tray or compartment before you set the battery in. The smooth side goes down, the textured fiber side faces up. That's it — the battery simply rests on top. For a battery mounted in your trunk or truck bed, place the mat between the battery and the floor. No tools, no installation, no hassle.
Do I need one even if my battery tray is plastic?
Yes — and it's still worth having. Plastic holds up better than bare metal, but acid can pool in corners and work its way through cracks or gaps over time, eventually reaching the metal below. The mat catches acid before it ever gets to the tray in the first place. Considering how inexpensive the mat is compared to the cost of repairing corrosion damage, it's an easy call.
My battery is sealed — do I still need this?
It's a good idea. Even sealed and maintenance-free batteries can release small amounts of acid in extreme heat, during overcharging, or if they're ever bumped or damaged. This is especially worth thinking about in enclosed spaces like an RV battery compartment or a trunk installation, where any leak — however small — has nowhere to go. The mat costs very little and takes seconds to install, so the peace of mind is well worth it.
How do I know when it's time to replace the mat?
Check the mat whenever you check your battery. If it looks discolored, feels stiff or crusty, or has clearly soaked up a spill, it's time for a new one. A mat that has done its job and absorbed acid is no longer able to protect you — replace it promptly. Under normal conditions with a healthy battery, a mat can last for years. It's good practice to keep a spare on hand so you're never caught without one.
Can I use it in my garage or workshop?
Absolutely. The mat works just as well on a workbench or garage floor as it does inside a vehicle. If you charge, test, or store batteries in your shop, laying one of these mats down first protects your workbench and floor from any drips or spills. It's a quick, no-fuss way to keep your workspace clean and safe.
Should I use terminal washers too?
Yes — they work well together. Terminal washers are small felt rings that go around the battery posts to prevent buildup and corrosion at the cable connections. The battery mat handles any acid that drips down the sides or pools under the battery. Together, they cover all the bases. If you haven't tried terminal washers yet, they're just as simple to use and can save you from the headache of corroded battery cables.
Is this mat made in the USA?
Yes. This mat is made in the USA by Quick Cable (part #510170) and sold individually. At 12" x 8", it fits most batteries right away, with no special tools or preparation needed. It's a straightforward product that does exactly what it says — protect your battery area from acid damage before it becomes a real problem.
Cross Reference & Compatibility
Customer Reviews
This mat fits perfectly into the battery box that houses my new car battery. I would never go without a proper mat. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
I use these on all my vehicles. I had one battery with a crack in the bottom that caused leakage; these mats have a plasticized bottom layer that is impervious to liquid or acid going through all the way from top to bottom, and in this case the mat saved the metal underneath from being affected.
it is what it is.
This is highly recommended for any c5 owner with the lead acid battery still. I went with an AGM shortly after buying. This may, but for the price it is cheap insurance and a quality product.
Works as advertised. It was easy to trim and firm enough that it will last. Only down side was it could have been a little bit thicker.
Make sure to put the rubbery plastic side down, felt side up. Easy to trim and hopefully will help should my battery spit up.
Excellent product. keeps battery acid from rusting battery tray.
