Also, remember to have a Great Canadian Day!
Gosh, now I understand where to put the two darn straps. I was looking around the box to find a place to screw them in without potentially puncturing the battery (what a silly design! I thought). Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks Scott, that covered what I needed to know when installing my batteries in my motorhome
Thanks for showing me how to install the Attwood battery box! I couldn't find that information anywhere but here! Thanks, guys!!
No problem! We're glad it helped you out!
He's being sarcastic....
Tried to find out how to use the strap. located a video which showed the strap going around both Drings which I believe is wrong., It holds but cannot be tightened. Instead, put the strap through the lower Dring with the teeth from underneath then over top. Tighten and it will grip under load then put the loose tail into the untoothed Dring by passing the strap over top..
Ha! This was great!
Great explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Scott. How do you get the strap off without damaging it?
Also inside the engine box is what I’m referring to is that okey-doke
I have an interstate battery it has 1/8 inch each side and less on the long sides haha, shop sold a smaller box for it
Scott a great video. When you got to the part about over charging in the box and explosions it was a bit hard to hear what you said owing to the music. So were you saying there is a small vent in top of box for gases to escape, which you were pointing too or just to ensure you dont overcharge?
There are small vents on top of the box (3:31) for the gases to escape, plus there is additional ventilation at the cable entry point.
+Gregg Distributors LP Any videos on how to route the strap through the D-rings? Mine holds but I can't tighten it.
Yeah he conveniently skipped over how to loop that terrible invention of a strap.
Can I use a 12 V battery box on the inside of my Toyota forerunner do I have to have a cover on it would that help or not help
These boxes are designed for marine, RV, and ATV applications, where the battery could be potentially exposed to the elements. These style of boxes likely will not fit inside a vehicles hood. If you are looking for something to protect your battery, a Battery Warmer might be a better option, check them out here greggdistributors.ca/search?q=battery%20warmers&resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties.
Glad the come with mounting brackets I can screw it to the bottom of my canoe.
Fun video, editor looks like he spent a fair bit of time, however, turn the music waaaay down. Should be at least 50% lower than it is in the video. We can’t hear him speak.
I need one box for kayak battery. not for BOOM!!
Here's a crazy idea. Why don't you show how to run the cables out from underneath the lid by actually PUTTING A BATTERY IN THE BOX!!!!! Not once did I see that. I've been looking all over TH-cam on this subject and not one video shows how the cables come out from under the lid!!!! I don't need a chemistry lesson acids. Geez.
If you are looking at the long side of the batery box, one side of the lid has two channels (on either side of the strap) that are molded to allow battery cable access. Hope that helps! Thanks.
At some point you got to use your god given brain.
Ray Duerksen Don’t have to when you watch TH-cam.
I freely admit that I came here to find out how I should drill a hole in my battery box to get the cable out. Now I have learned that there is no need for that. Do I feel stupid? I guess I do, but sometimes you can't see what should be obvious.
You are supposed to be wearing eye protection in that area!
