BATTERY BOXES & ENCLOSURES

BATTERY PRODUCTS
 
Heavy Duty Polyethylene Battery Box   

These battery boxes are designed to hold an assortment of batteries and are made from high density 3/16 ths of an inch polyethylene (HDPE) sheets.  

We offer five popular sizes, but can supply you with custom sizes made to your specifications.  Just Email, or send us your drawings for an estimate.

The box has an insulated base with removable middle section that minimizes lifting easy battery installation. The plastic is easy to drill with hole saw to attach conduit fitting for inverter cables.

A hydrogen vent tube in the top should be extended to exterior of building. A drain in the bottom section makes it possible to wash batteries.

Our best selling box holds 8 L-16 batteries, has an insulated base and a drain fitting so you can actually wash off your batteries.  These boxes are a neat, clean, safe and professional alternative to site-built plywood boxes.

Battery boxes without the drain do not have the corner legs or the two sheet of insulation shown in the above photos.

The above battery boxes show a bottom tray with a sleeve which fits in the tray.  This is an older design and these boxes now just the base with a top which fits over the base (box), eliminating the extra piece, thus cutting down on the thickness.

Custom Sizes can be made to meet your requirements.  Email us with your specifications and we will email your a quote.  Please note that if this is the first time this size box has been ordered, there will be a charge for making a new jig.  This fee usually averages about $35.  We are working on getting a listing of jig sizes from the manufacturer.   Please note, that delivery for Custom Sizes could take longer then the boxes listed in the below box.

The below boxes are manufactured once your order is placed and could take as long as six to eight weeks before they ship.

Battery and Control Enclosure

These NEMA3R enclosures were made to contain complete industrial quality power systems for remote applications. They hold 1 Group 31 or smaller batteries and can be mounted to either a 2 to 6 inch pole, a flat surface or a concrete pad.

The included pole mounting hardware is designed so as not to allow removal from the outside of the enclosure. They feature hinged doors with secure locking latches, passive ventilation and a white powder coat finish. They have an internal control enclosure at the top of the box with a hinged door with dead-front cut-outs for 3 CD or CF type circuit breakers, a 7 x 15 inch removable control panel for pre-assembly of electrical components.

They have eight 1/2" knockouts on the bottom and one 3/4" knockout in the lower back.

Powder-coated steel construction.

Direct Power Chest Style Battery Enclosures

Pad mount, chest style enclosures are manufactured with .125" 5052-H32 aluminum. All die marks and welds are sanded smooth and the boxes are finished with a reflective bright white polyester powder coat to minimize internal heat gain.

All enclosures are provided with integrated louvers located to promote convective air flow through the enclosure to reduce internal temperatures and remove gasses. Filters are located over the louvers to keep out dust and insects. The filters are removable for cleaning or replacement. All standard enclosures are built to meet NEMA 3R specifications.

Other sizes available.
