Why use a battery box for batteries?
A battery box isn't just a storage solution. It's a necessity to keep your marine battery or other batteries working optimally for longer. Here are some of the benefits:
- Protection against water and moisture: A battery box protects the battery from splashes, rain and condensation, preventing corrosion on your batteries.
- Safe storage: The battery box prevents accidental short circuits and minimises the risk of sparks or battery leaks.
- Easy transport: Many battery boxes are equipped with sturdy handles so you can easily move the battery and the weight of the battery as needed.
- Organised installations: With a battery box, you keep wires and terminals safe and tidy, which is essential for a well-functioning electrical system on board.
Which battery box should you choose?
When choosing a battery box, there are several things you should consider:
The battery box must fit your marine battery - onboard the boat. Biltema offers several different sizes of boxes, so you can find one that matches your needs and your batteries.
Keep this in mind: Measure your battery and compare it with the specifications of the battery box before you buy.
- Material and construction
Choose a battery box made of durable materials that can withstand both high and low temperatures, shocks and UV radiation. A robust construction means your battery box will last many years, even in harsh conditions.
- Extra features of a battery box
Some battery boxes have handy extra features like built-in fuse panels, battery indicators, or 12V outlets that make it easy to connect electronic devices directly. Consider which features will make your battery experience easier, safer and smarter.
- Acid-proof plastic and ventilation
A good battery box is made of acid-resistant plastic, which ensures that any acid leaks from the battery stay in the battery box. This is an important detail to avoid floating battery acid in the boat's bottom.
When you explore the selection on this page, you can read which boxes are made of acid-resistant plastic. All of our boxes have built-in ventilation to ensure that any gas leaks from the battery are safely channelled away. This is an important detail to avoid the build-up of hydrogen gas, which can be dangerous.
