Has anyone found a battery box that will fit this? Like a close top box? or a Poly box liner??

I would recommend one if it is kept outside. This could be a simple plastic storage box from Wal Mart or as elaborate as the Moeller Injection-Molded Marine Battery Box.

I would caution trying to use it with an over sized battery for fear that it would not close. Hope that helps.

I have only been able to insert the batteries one way. The plastic shapes on the inside are designed so that the bulge on the positive side of the battery fits just overtop of a mold, while the smooth side is tight against the edge of the container. If this is reversed, the positive side does not fit in, and the flat side juts over the mold so that the cover cannot close.I would personally recommend keeping only your charged batteries in the case, and using a rubber band or something to bundle your discharged ones until they are replenished. Or you could buy more cases and label them. That would look much better actually. I have only been able to insert the batteries one way.

I replaced a battery in one of mine with a unit from Interstate (or Batteries Plus) and have had no problem for years. They selected the right model to fit the case. It is a higher rated battery.

I cut out the parts that interfere withe the battery. It seems that plastic that appears to go around the battery doesn't. It interferes and won't close. I've bought 2 so far and had to do the same for both so it could install. I'm happy with mine because I cut those pieces out.

Hi Roger. Yep. Looks like there's one of those classic "open with a coin" twist-off battery covers. I haven't opened it yet, but this would definitely be a plus versus, say, a Polar hr monitor strap where you have to send the whole thing back to Polar.

yes I did. Be very careful to not totally separate the two pieces. The battery will fit in just be gentle.

It's different. It's bigger. There is an expanded battery plus cover out there. just search.

Try 4 Marine batterys the biggest you can get ahold of locally (avoid shipping)

I would look at the dense plastic automotive storage/tool type box sold at Walmart or any home improvement store. Water tight and can be washed out if needed. I only suggest this if you are not handy or have capability to make your own carry case.

Joseph, do you really need this large of unit? It needs 4" x 12" to mount. There should be no problem, except it is designed for 2 battery apps. It would not work for 1 battery! Need more help, write again. Viking

If it is dead, open the box and get the dimensions off the existing battery. If you have to replace it anyways might as well get it ready.

Hello, the battery is slightly oversized, so won't fit the standard compartment, I bought some extra bands to hold it in place. That said this battery gives allot of power an last a long time
