CURT 52022 6-Inch x 5-1/2-Inch x 3-1/4-Inch Lockable Trailer Breakaway Battery Case

I use external SLA batteries with my trail cameras and these boxes are perfect for shielding them from the rain. One caveat: A large, 12-volt SLA battery is too large to fit one of these, but 2 smaller 6-volt batteries fit perfectly.

This battery box was the perfect fit that replaced the old cracked and weather worn box. Price and quality are a perfect compliment.

Good! Kinda tight fit in there for a 7AH 12v but working ok!

Matches the broken original

Works great

I was hoping that this battery box would fit the 10.5 AH sealed battery as the dimensions should allow this, but there is a slight tapper to the box disallowing this type of battery to be used. ( this is very common battery type found in UPS systems, mobile cart, emergency lighting etc ) there are some plastic molded in tabs I assume accommodate battery XYZ perferctely , but after going to specialty battery store the best that I could do was a square 5 AH battery ( like the UB1250 ) while this does fit there is still some slop and I would not call this a perfect fit. ( no modifications of the box was necessary ) to remove the tabs on the side should be fairly straight forward but the bottom could be an issue ( its kind of small area to work in ) there is room in the box for cables and maybe a small trickle charger with a 5 AH battery. PRO's the mounting area seems beefy enough to mount and not worry about loosing this thing on the road the lid is snug and snaps in place ( even with out a lock I don't think this thing is going to open at highway speeds ) the lock area has a large enough hole to use a real lock ( not the cheap luggage type ) plastic is not the bakelite type and should be easy to modify (drill holes for additional / larger wires etc) and will stand up to a lot of abuse / road miles. What would have made this box over the top good. 1) A few more centimeters to allow for a 10 AH battery ( if you warmed this thing up you may be able to make it work, and for 5 bucks I may try it... ) 2) Some way to tie a battery down ( either holes for a zip tie ) or a few molded plastic screw holes to put a strap on. 3) Actually knowing what battery / charger combo was envisioned from the designers ( i'm sure they had a plan, maybe... ) 4) not a fan of the holes almost the middle on the sides would have been good so you could route a battery vent if you were not using a sealed battery. other wise no holes if it leaks I want it contained. also if you are mounting this on your trailer its just a way for dirt and crap to get in ( the problem is easily corrected with some silicone. ) if there were no holes i could have easily put them where I needed... ( this can't really be listed as a neg because 50% will want holes the other 50% no holes ) my application is inside of a tackroom for a light when the trailer is not hooked to the 12V on the truck so acid leaks are bad...

Very well made, highly recommended!!!!!

This little box is great, fits several sizes of batteries by removing tabs inside. Has ore drilled mounting holes. Does exactly what I needed.

Good quality material. Holds the battery well and has a side spot for the electrical

Yo la compre para una batería de 12v y 7ah y por milimetros no cupo, será que esta industria no esta estandarizada por completo?

Exactement ce que j'avais besoin pour installer une batterie sur ma souffleuse à neige, bonnes dimensions, j'ai attendu de la recevoir avant de commander la batterie pour m'assurer que les dimensions internes soient correctes. La batterie aurait pu être plus large d'environ 1½ pouces 6" max au lieu de 4.49", hauteur max 5.20" et épaisseur 2.72"

Product seems fine but time will tell. I did find that the inside dimensions are very different from the outside dimensions so I had to "Customise" it a bit for my battery. Over all it seems fine so far. You will need a lock or a nut bolt combination to keep the lid closed though. It doesn't stay closed once you open it to fit the battery.

Price is right. Flimsy hinge, small piece of plastic as a hinge.
