Optima Battery Boxes!

Gravel Maker · 08-06-2008, 06:39 PM

We made these with the Fabricator in mind. These are made of 1 piece of steel, no welds needed! We made them with very tight tolerances so the battery will not move around and the top plate is also cut in a shape to fit the battery. They have no prederermined location holes cut in them so you can use them as best suits your project without having to workaround someone elses idea of how it should be done

they are very easy to combine to mount dual batteries too, just cut and paste!

We used mild steel because stainless just isn't necessary in something that is not a show truck and why add $50 to the cost if you don't have to? We make these only for an Optima battery so far but let me know if you want them for another popular shaped battery. The battery can mount to either side and they are unidirectional so you can't mount them wrong!

These are $59 before the discount.......Enjoy!

What are the measurements interior and exterior for the box? Looking for something to fit my Exide Orbital XCD which is sort of Optima shaped!

Damn. If you make one just a hair wider and a smidge taller I'll definitely buy one!

Optima 34R - 10 x 6.9 x 7.8

Exide Orbital XCD - 10.17 x 7.00 x 8.12

That is getting pretty big but these would help in making it seem smaller, let me check the size specs but no promises......

thanks.

The optima 75 series are more common. Since i wasnt able to obtain a 34-r due to shortages. I settled for the 75. I had to some mod to my battery cabling but a box is much needed since mine isnt well tied down. = (
