Moeller 8D Battery Box, Roto-Molded, Low Profile, 25 x 15 x 13.06 Inches, Black

The Moeller 8D Battery Box is a roto-molded plastic enclosure built to hold a single Group 8D marine battery securely aboard a boat. Roto-molding produces a one-piece, seamless shell that resists cracking, corrosion, and the vibration and impact stress common in marine environments, making it a durable alternative to open battery trays or improvised mounting. The low-profile design fits the 25 x 15 x 13.06 inch footprint of an 8D battery while keeping overall installed height to a minimum, which helps in tight engine compartments, battery lockers, and under-seat installations where headroom is limited.

The enclosed design helps contain battery terminals and protects surrounding equipment, wiring, and crew from accidental contact and from acid or corrosion exposure if a battery leaks. Its black plastic construction will not rust or corrode like metal battery boxes, and the material is suited to the damp, salt-exposed conditions typical of marine use. The box is intended for a single 8D battery and is a straightforward drop-in solution for boat owners upgrading their battery storage or replacing a damaged or open tray.
