Battery box for your boat

On a boat, it is normal to find one or more batteries depending on the size and equipment on board. Generally there will be a starter battery and one or more service batteries, which will be used to power the various accessories on the boat. These batteries should be properly installed and stored, preferably in a watertight box or container, to protect the battery from the elements such as sand, water and dust and to prevent fluid leakage or acid loss. 

For this reason, renowned brands such as Plastimo, Nuova Rade, Osculati, 4Water and Minn kota have designed battery boxes of different sizes, battery boxes for batteries of various powers and types, and different capacities to accommodate one or more batteries at the same time. 

The boat battery box has a lid, but also a closing strap. On some of them, we will also find a fastening system that will allow an easy storage of the battery box on the boat. In the same way, some brands like Minn Kota have designed battery boxes with more functionalities that will allow you to connect your batteries to your electric motors, dinghies, etc... directly and quickly without having to take them out of their box. This waterproof battery box will also allow you to see the dashboard and the state of charge of the battery, while protecting the battery.
