Battery boxes are manufactured from 10mm thick high density
polyethylene (HDPE). This is the same material that our custom
built tanks are made from.
HDPE is totally inert to the corrosive properties of battery
acid. Any spillages will be safely contained in the totally
sealed box.
Entry and exits for the cables are normally drilled by the
customer but boxes can be supplied fully fitted with all the
necessary cable glands and vents. These battery boxes are
ideally suited to the one off design as they can be manufactured
to any shape and size using our normal sheet material. All
welds are hot gas extrusion welded for ultimate strength and
reliability.
The basic design is similar to a shoe box with the lid having
a down turned lip around the edge. The lid fits snugly over
the main box and is supplied with a 5mm thick neoprene gasket.
Lid fastenings are rubber toggles which enable almost instant
access into the box.
Recently we manufactured an L shaped water tank with an integral
battery box with lid. This is now a standard item in the production
run of a new motor boat recently in production.
