Battery Box for 6v House Bank?
Hi Everyone,
We just brought a boat and the survey showed it needed acid proof containment for the batteries. The group 24 is easy, but what size boxes do I need to buy for the 6Vs(the boat has six as the house bank). The boat is a 4 hour drive from home so I want to buy the boxes before we head to the boat.
Thank you for your help.
Patty

Our boat came with 4D batteries, and when I upgraded the battery capacity to 6v golf cart batteries, I was able to fit 2-6v batteries in one of the plastic boxes that housed the 4D. I now have 6 - 6v batteries.

Before you buy one, however, you'll want to be sure that there's enough room on the boat for them. Otherwise, you may need to construct a custom box.

Pretty much, it gets to parts of an inch pretty quick. Containment is advised but it has to fit too. Height - widthand depth all matter. Do you know what brand they are?

I don't know the brand. I don't think space on the boat is a problem, as it is a catamaran. I might buy some boxes (hoping for a fit) and then return if they do not work. Thanks for all your help.

i am in the process of installing boxes for my 4 6V batteries .. the blue sea boxes are very nice but would not fit in my space. i found these that are smaller than most and come in 2 configurations.

Battery Box For Dual 6V Batteries - Holds Two In One Box
found these to be top notch, a little pricy, but well built. I returned most of the ones I bought as they were to high for my space, and now going with agm, but I kept one for a windless battery.
