Group 27 Battery Box

Description

Product Description

There are three sub-groups of group 27 batteries and their dimensions vary slightly. Our Group 27 Battery Box will fit all group 27 batteries including their sub-groups. It also fits all batteries that measure up to 7-3/8″W x 12-3/4″L x 9-1/2″H. Please measure your battery before ordering to make sure it fits.

This battery box is commonly used for auto, marine, and RV batteries. It is impact-resistant and will provide years of excellent protection for your battery. The covers have built-in vent channels to allow battery gases to escape.

This container is made of heavy-duty polypropylene which is not affected by battery acid, oil, gasoline, or other harsh liquids. It includes a hold-down strap and a mounting hardware kit. Our battery boxes are made in the USA at our factory in Ohio.

We also make other sizes to fit 6-volt, group U1, and group 24 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 the terminals.

To standardize each battery size, the Battery Council International has assigned groupings known as group sizes that define a battery’s exact size. Each group number specifies the length, width, and height of each battery in both inch and metric scales. Examples of group numbers are 24, 27, 31, etc. Batteries that do not match a group’s exact dimensions, but are similar in size, are grouped under the same number but are assigned a letter (e.g. group 24F).

Batteries are grouped this way to let customers know the exact size before buying. This assures a perfect fit in the intended space.

Group 27 Battery Box Features

The cover has a recessed groove across the top for a tie-down strap. This keeps the strap centered with the battery box when securing the lid. The strap keeps the cover firmly in place and also stops the battery from moving. This is crucial for batteries that are mounted in vehicles. When you install a battery in a boat or watercraft, it is essential to heed the federal regulations to ensure it is done safely.

The cover is vital for many reasons. It keeps the battery clean and protects it from the weather. It also covers any exposed wires and terminals, thus preventing accidental shorts or electrical shock. It also acts as a shield against tiny drops of acid spewed from the battery, keeping it held within the container. One more feature of the cover is the built-in channels that extend outward at the sides. These channels allow the cables to exit the battery box. They also provide a vent to stop the buildup of flammable gas inside the box.

Each battery box has a convenient handle at both ends of the container. This gives you an easy way to lift it when it contains a heavy battery. Each handle is reinforced to withstand heavy loads.
