Re: [Electric Boats] Use of Battery Boxes with agm's, gel or other sealed batteries

 

Dave,

I have two grp 31 AGMs installed in my Cape Dory Typhoon. One is on its side. I installed circuit breakers near each battery. One is forward under the bunks and one under the cockpit floor. I did not use boxes because there was no room. I did put covers on the terminals. This is my third season and no problems so far. I would have used boxes had it been possible, just for the added safety.

I would be interested to hear what various group members have done with regard to utilizing or not battery boxes with battery types such as AGMs which reportably do not need one and can be mounted on their side. Does anyone forgo them as a result of this characteristic or do people still use battery boxes just because or for other reasons (please note reason)?

Thanks
Dave
