Battery Box for two 6v GC2's?

[brianosaur]

Looking for a battery box that will hold two GC2 batteries.

I can only seem to find the locking diamond plate ones that are in the $250 to $350 range.

Are there regular plastic boxes that are more reasonably priced?
I saw a box for a 4d battery, but not sure if it is tall enough.

Any other options? Perhaps a tool chest, truck box or something?

Thanks

Camco has a new dual battery (end to end) box out.
It’s part number 55374. I got one from my dealer for $23.
It’s now on Amazon for $17.

Is that 4 GC2's in there?
I looked at the site and didn't see a box for 4.
Yours looks great! I want a box for 4 GC2's. I currently have 2 different boxes for 2 each.

Yes,that is 4 Golf Cart 6v batteries. The box is actually a tool box for ATV's. So if you're looking for battery boxes on that site it may not come up. I ordered this one off Amazon and also got the vents off Amazon too. I based the size off lining up all my batteries and finding a box based on the length, width and height. This one just luckily fit the ticket.......just barely. Like I may have mentioned I needed to do a little trimming on the snap-ups and move the propane tanks toward the tongue jack bout 1-1/2". But it's real nice being able to run two C-Paps and the furnace and wake up with 12.5 volts left!

This is what mine came out like. I had to shave the snap ups and move the propane tanks forward about 1-1/2". I put plywood down in the bottom. Bolted the straps down to the bottom through the plywood with stainless bolts and stainless fender washers. Worked out real good. Batteries are secure. I want to tidy up the wiring a bit. Not sure if you can see the vents in the front.

I bought a ZeeDee ATV tool box from Amazon for my Creek Side. I fit 4 6v batteries in it and there was room to spare. $125.00. Surely there'd be a smaller one if you looked a bit. I also purchased two vents that popped up on the same page that said: "people who ordered this ZeeDee ATV tool box also ordered these". Kind of seems like someone else thought it'd be a good battery box too!

I was in the same boat as far as cost all the battery boxes were way too much money for some plastic , so after weeks of debating,searching almost spending too much money i came across this box. Fits my 2 GC batteries just fine and has some space left over , I just now need to drill bottom hole and top hole for my vent, but for 20 buck Canadian, i think it should do

I got my Century battery box from All Battery Sales & Service. It was a little pricey. However, it was the only box that would hold both of my new GC-2 batteries and fit in the limited space on my tongue.

Unfortunate that Centurys Plastics offers these battery boxes in white only. 😞

do a search. I have a pair of side by side in white and a black end to end on the other trailer. Many mfg make this style you should be able to find them in either black or white.

My local battery store has them in stock in both colors and both configurations
