battery boxes

Re: battery boxes
I don't want to let the cat out of the bag as of yet, but here's a box I made for my battery. Basically a single piece of sheet metal, bent with my table vise, fastened with rivets. After this, I drilled 2 holes; 1 lines up with a bolt from the tow hooks(on my crx) and the other lines op with one of the bolts from the stock battery bracket. They're diagonal from eachother, and I didn't want to drill and use self tapping screws. The battery is a sealed lead-acid type, that I may start selling on this site, as a contributor. We'll see how that goes.

Here is my box, its the regular size one and sells for about $12, right now I am using a med size battery and it fits in the box with only some slack, when I had the stocker I just cut up some cardboard and stuck it in nice and tight around the battery.

Re: battery boxes
Mine is an ammo can modified to lower the battery and I raised the lid half and inch to clear the terminals. The latch rivets were drilled and the latch was modified and rewelded 1/2 inch higher so it still latches like it did before the hinge was moved.
Battery is a 330cca lawn mower battery and it starts my KA24DE just fine even in 32 degree weather.

However, the 260-280(?) CCA battery I have clears charge pipe by miles in the stock ED chassis location, so I don't have to fool around with running a couple bucks worth of welding cable, or having a legal sealed + vented battery box.
