Battery Box

[gasserbiker]

Anybody know where I can purchase a metal battery box that will fit a 12 VDC Emergency Lighting type of battery such as the type shown in the link below?

Have searched the web and unable to locate battery boxes to fit this type. Guess I'm gonna have to fabricate my own.

Howdy Gasser. Welcome

Wanted to suggest a military surplus ammo can, but your batt is to square, it looks.

The reviews on that battery were pretty harsh. Lots of electric folks here.

Thank you for the reply Dan.

An ammo box is too large for this type of battery. I need to have the battery box fit in between the down tube and the frame motor or possibly next to the seat riser tube. Am looking to connect the battery for LED turn signals, headlight and tail light.

That is not the battery that I will use. Was just trying to provide an idea as to the battery type and size.

I would check out old motorcycle battery boxes. They are smaller but heavier. Start with 6 volt powered motorcycles since those battery boxes will be smaller.

Thanks for the replies guys. Good suggestion on the 6V boxes. I forgot those are smaller. Will look for those at a motorcycle swap meet.

Thanks!

I used a small weather resistant camera case.
No brackets or fab required. Gotta love wire ties.
I run a smaller 6v 4.5a battery.
Works great.
