Description
Overview
The Battery Box Standard secures and protects a single marine battery in a tough, vented enclosure. Under Argomarine ID RWB0661, it uses high-density polyethylene that resists battery acid. Consequently, it suits engine bays and lockers where corrosion, vibration and occasional splashes challenge lesser housings. Because the Battery Box Standard includes carry handles and a strap, you can lift and restrain a battery safely during maintenance and rough conditions.
Features
- Vented lid with four cable recesses for neat entry and gas dispersion
- High-density polyethylene construction that resists acid and impact
- Sturdy integrated carry handles for convenient handling
- Complete kit: webbing strap, mounting cleats and stainless fasteners

Compatibility and Fitment
Because the Battery Box Standard uses a common marine footprint, it suits many starting and deep-cycle batteries of “standard” size. Verify available space, terminal height and cable bend radius before fixing the base. Additionally, position the vents upward and route cables through the lid recesses to avoid chafe.
Compliance and Safety
Mount the tray on a flat, rigid surface and tighten the strap so the battery cannot move. Furthermore, isolate power prior to work, protect conductors with grommets or glands, and shield terminals from accidental contact. Where relevant, follow vessel survey requirements and electrical rules that apply to your operation.
Marine Applications
The Battery Box Standard works across trailer boats, inboards and auxiliary banks. For example, it protects a crank battery near the transom or a house battery running electronics, lights and pumps. In addition, the vented design helps disperse gases while the HDPE body resists spills and simplifies clean-ups.
