Default battery base plate

Is the plastic battery baseplate tough enough to hold J-post hold downs for a 21 lb braille battery?

The tray is not made for J hooks. I would buy a tray made for that battery and attach it to the tray in the car. I work for the largest car battery manufacture and use different trays when I use smaller batteries.

Keep in mind that if you use the car as a daily driver, that battery does not have a very high amp hour rating.

Thank you,
Do you know a brand name? I am having trouble finding a good solution.
