In an electrified vehicle, such as a battery electric vehicle, those with a hybrid powertrain, range extended electric vehicles, or hydrogen powered vehicles, integration of the battery may mean that space is very constrained. Typically this means that there is no feasible method to lift the battery to disengage it from the vehicle or to operate any engagement catches or locks etc. The disclosure provides a roller arrangement which has no translation or actuator requirements in order to allow the battery to have reduced frictional engagement with the battery compartment during installation or removal, and also to be well engaged with the battery compartment once installed. Rollers are provided which drop into recesses in the battery compartment at which point they are removed from load bearing engagement and thus, the recesses serve to locate the battery into the installed state in the compartment.
