6-Volt Battery Box Description
Storage batteries rated at six volts will vary in size depending on the brand and type of battery. Our 6-volt battery box will fit batteries that measure up to 10-5/8″ long x 7-1/4″ wide x 12-1/4″ high. Please measure your battery before ordering to make sure it will fit.
This container is impact-resistant and will give years of protection for your battery and nearby surfaces. The cover has built-in vent channels to allow battery gases to flow out of the box with ease.
Our battery box is made of heavy-duty polypropylene. It is not harmed by battery acid, oil, gasoline, and other harsh liquids. It comes with a hold-down strap and a mounting hardware kit. It is made in the USA at our plant in Ohio.
We also make other battery boxes that will fit group U1, group 24, and group 27 batteries. Our large adjustable battery box will fit any group 24, group 27, group 29, or group 31 battery. Each model includes an acid-proof cover with built-in port slots to route the cables to your terminal connections.
Why is a Battery Box made of Plastic?
This container should be made of a material that is not affected by battery acid. This is shown by what happened when a steel battery box was made for a military vehicle. In time, the acid damaged it to the point where it could not be used. If this process continued, the leaked acid from the battery would damage the vehicle itself. This resulted in vehicle downtime while the battery box was being replaced.
This led to the design of a battery case made of a substance that is acid-resistant. But making a traditional mold for a large plastic battery box would not be practical due to the high cost. As a result, a large frame was fabricated from a composite material to enclose the battery. However, molding plastic battery boxes for smaller batteries is cost-effective because of the high quantities needed in today’s market.
