Tips and Tricks for Finding Battery Boxes on eBay

Having the right battery boxes can protect your vehicle’s battery from the weather and can add functionality as well. Battery boxes are used by a wide range of applications and styles on eBay, and you can find one that meets your needs.

Because there are many different sizes and types of battery boxes for sale on eBay, here are some steps to help you search for a compatible box for your battery:

• Select a size: You will want to choose a size that will fit the battery with little extra space to prevent the battery from moving around.
• Choose a brand: There is a wide range of branded and unbranded battery boxes available. For options such as a caravan battery box or a vehicle battery box, the box may be branded by the same manufacturer as the vehicle.
• Choose a type: Some common types include caravans, boats, motorcycles, and cars. These will vary in size and features.
• Select a condition: You can choose between new, new open boxed, and used battery boxes.

Here are some features available depending on the planned application for your battery box:

• Waterproofing: Battery boxes that are designed for outdoor use will be waterproofed to help keep water out of the battery. Marine style models will also have coatings applied that reduce corrosion caused by saltwater.
• Peripherals: Some battery boxes will have external connections such as USB ports and power sockets. These will connect to the battery inside and will allow you to charge or power devices.
• LEDs: LEDs on the battery case will connect to the battery inside and will give you a visual indication of the battery’s charge. It will typically use a series of LEDs in a line and/or use different colours such as green, yellow, and red to indicate power levels.
• Straps: Straps will help secure the lid onto the box and in some models are used to help transport the battery box.

Branded battery boxes such as those for motorcycles or cars are designed for use with a specific model. Used branded battery boxes will typically be cheaper than purchasing a new one. When buying a used model, you will want to look at the description and pictures to make sure that the case hasn’t been damaged by battery acid.
