A battery frame for holding one or more battery boxes includes an outer frame surrounding an interior space and formed from a plurality of structural members including first rails extending parallel to and spaced apart from one another and second rails between the first rails and perpendicularly thereto. The outer frame defines a top extending in a flat plane and a bottom. Each of the first rails includes a mounting flange extending outwardly away from the interior space for holding the battery frame to a vehicle structure. One or more battery boxes are disposed within the interior space of the outer frame and are removable from below the outer frame with the outer frame mounted within a vehicle. Support members and cross-beams provide structural rigidity, distribute or absorb crash loads, and hold one or more of the battery boxes within the battery frame.
