Like you, I've looked all over for these things. From the picture, it looks like the lid clears the top of the posts with enough room to add a PVC fitting for vent hose. They make one for end to end and side to side installs of 6 volters. I just ordered a box from Allied Battery (post above).

Plus there is the corrosive mist/gases from the acid. That's Hydrogen being released along with oxygen - just whats needed for an explosion. Remember all that boiling during heaving charging. So taking a bank of 6V's way down dry camping (this is why we want the big banks in the first place, right?) and then bringing them back up with your 30 or 40amp charger in an enclosed space is asking for trouble. Is there anyone out there that knows the answer?Īnother thing to remember is the deeper you discharge a battery bank, the more hydrogen it produces during charging, and a bigger charge rate makes more as well. I still need a supplier that sells these vented battery boxes.

It exploded and he was lucky and did not get hurt. My father had an experience when an open flame came near a battery that was not enclosed, but in an open area. You can see by the response above that gas from a battery can explode when confind in a closed area that is not vented.

I made my own for four golf cart batteries. Just look for vented battery cases big enough to hold the units you are after.ĭo you know of any vented battery case supplier, as I have not found any? I checked out Bluesky's link and found battery cases which fit 6 volt batteries, but they do not say if vented. Take a look at this site, don't know if there battery boxs are vented: We purchase them often for backup batteries for communications equipment. Try any large battery supplier such as interstate batteries etc. I have been looking over the internet and cannot find a supplier for the 6 volt vented cases.

I just bought a new 30' 5th wheel and want to enclose two 6 volt batteries. I have been very sucessful with using two 6 volt batteries for my trailers in the past. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Tech Issues: 6 volt battery cases Open Roads Forum
