If you run a small 12V battery for lights or a sounder this Coast to Coast Small Battery Box with Strap gives it a simple home at 278 mm long by 188 mm wide by 195 mm high. The lid and strap keep the case together when the boat or trailer bangs over potholes and corrugations so the battery stays put instead of sliding around next to other gear.

The hard plastic shell is sized for compact batteries that fit inside the 278 mm by 188 mm footprint with enough headroom under the 195 mm overall height for standard posts and wiring. The strap runs over the lid and through moulded slots in the base to clamp the battery down as the setup cops vibration and sideways load. For the price this is a smart buy if you want simple protection that works in Aussie heat and road grime.

Q: What size battery will fit inside this small battery box?

Any battery with external dimensions smaller than 278 mm long, 188 mm wide and 195 mm high can fit inside this box. Leave a few millimetres clearance so the case and lid close without pressure on the battery. Check your battery length and width against the quoted footprint. Taller batteries may press against the lid so measure overall height including terminals.

Q: Can I bolt this battery box down to a floor or tray?

Yes, the plastic base can be fixed down if you drill mounting holes and use suitable fasteners. Use large washers or a mounting plate to spread the load on the plastic. Position the box so bolts do not contact the battery case. Always remove the battery before drilling and cleaning up swarf.

Q: Is the strap included or do I need to buy one separately?

The strap is included with this battery box. The strap passes through moulded slots in the case and over the lid to clamp the battery. You can replace it with another strap of similar width if it wears out. Make sure the replacement is tensioned firmly before use.

Q: Is this battery box suitable for use on a boat?

This battery box is commonly used in marine setups where a compact case is needed. The plastic construction handles splashes and general deck grime. Mount it where it will not sit in constant standing water. Secure the strap and any additional tie‑downs before heading out so the battery stays stable in chop.
