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

These boxes are intended to house a breakaway battery and a little wiring on a trailer. They are weather resistant, have a sturdy latch, and mounting tabs for attaching to the trailer.I used these for something entirely different. I have a trailer wiring tester that is built into a plastic ammunition box. I wanted to add a charger and meters for voltage and current. I added two of these, one on each side of the test box. It worked very well.

Barely fits the battery for my Mighty Mule gate opener. Had to use heat gun to allow it to flex a little larger.

Battery fit is a tight one. Not as good as the other model

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'sthe mounting area seems beefy enough to mount and not worry about loosing this thing on the roadthe 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...

I had a mobile guy come replace the floor of my cargo trailer. He "lost" the battery and the mount. In that moment, I realize that I needed a more secure way to hold (and lock) my trailer brake battery. I found this and it was ABSOLUTELY perfect! Secure and able to lock it. I had to make a couple modifications to meet the trailer's needs, but it was easy to do with this unit.

If the measurements were accurate, it would have worked nicely. The sides are curved inwards. And the latch is terrible, will definitely break with little wear. Do not buy this box. Shipping took 3 weeks, so don’t recommend the seller either. Will be requesting a refund immediately!

As advertised

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

Now that I run lithium batteries this box worked perfect. With a minor change it took my starting battery. It's pictured. txs. Do you happen to have the a box that fits battery YTX20L. If u do i'll buy 2

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.
