This 58-1/2" x 7-5/8" x 12-3/4" box keeps batteries safe and secure. Heavy-gauge aluminum is lightweight and rustproof. Powder coated outer frame is durable. Includes hold-down straps, locking lid, access hole for wiring, and hardware.I’m not impressed, this box is very expensive for what you get! First off, this fancy ‘secure’ box comes with the most basic lock that has extremely generic keys! A tubular lock is needed at the very least. Secondly, as the diamond plate is simply pop-riveted into place there was a large gap that I had to caulk as it would’ve let excess rain/moisture/dirt right into the box. I also had to re-drill the holes in the divider so it actually fit. On the good side, Powder coating is nice, lid seems solid, and e-trailer’s delivery was super fast! Shipping it into Canada was cheaper than purchasing from local RV vendors by more than $200… but this box is still very overpriced! I was in a rush this time, but for the price I could’ve bought all the materials and a small welding unit… Just some food for thought! Also, definitely don’t waste your money on the solar version, the tiny panel wouldn’t come close to keeping 4 to 5 GC2 batteries charged!

This custom battery box addition looks like it was original to the trailer. The diamond metal matches perfectly with our Outdoors RV travel trailer. It is beautiful and perfectly designed. We did discover, unfortunately, that you must be careful with sharp turns, as the corner of the battery box is able to touch/dent/crack the rear taillamp of our Dodge Ram truck on a tight turn. The replacement lamp was relatively inexpensive and easy to install ourselves. Now we know how far to turn and to watch for this in the future. LOVE the box and how secure it keeps the batteries!!
The item showed up and the top would not slide into place and lock. I had to bend the welded C channels so it would work properly. It was not a huge deal, but it was a bummer I had to do this on such an expensive product.
Sierra K - 05/19/2021Nice battery box, I have four golf cart 6V batteries, and they fit perfectly. If you use the divider there is room for other equipment like a charge controller, etc. I am using this for a small solar power system. I had to work with the lock a little to make it work, I shortened the strike lever and bent a little bit but no big deal. Nice product.
I have 4 Trojan T-105 6 volt batteries installed in this box. They fit nicely with a little room at each end, ( as it is designed for up to 5 ). I installed a couple of 2x2 aluminum angles to keep the batteries in position. The box is great, keeps my batteries securely anchored and safely stored out of sight. The box sizing was a perfect fit behind my propane tanks. The lock on the box was a little sticky but I ground the tab down a bit and it works fine now. The aluminum checker plate has not oxidized and the black wrinkle finish is tough and durable. Just don't try to wax it. I'm still trying to get the wax out of the little grooves :) 5 stars all the way.
Earlier this year I decided to upgrade my DC Power systems on my travel trailer. The project included two roof mounted 160Watt solar panels, 6volt golf cart batteries, and a 2kW AC Inverter. I chose the Torklift 5 battery security box because I needed to fit in 4 @ 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries. With this box, which can contain up to 5 batteries, I installed 4 golf cart batteries, and used the divider to create a separate section for my power junction and switch box. This was extra convenient because I wanted a secure space to install the source / disconnect switch and 300Amp fuse for my 2,000 watt inverter. (See pictures) I had plenty of room to install an A/B/Both/Off marine switch, a common bus, and the 300 amp class T fuse block, safely segregated from the battery compartment. The solar keeps the batteries topped off at all times, and the inverter will power everything in the coach except the Air Conditioning (which in Alaska I never use). The Battery box fit perfectly between the twin propane tanks and the forward bulkhead of the coatch body. The securely locking cabinet will prevent theft of the batteries while in storage. Love it !
This box is built well and the concept is great, the exception being the CH751 keyed camlock. First, I do not understand the logic of offering a secure lock box that uses a key everyone has. Second, the cam does not even rotate fully to a locked position to where I can remove the key. I'd give it more stars but the lock and locking system is ineffective as received.
After one year of use, it has held up well. Holds four batteries easy safe and sound. Sturdy as all get out! Solid!
I'm using this product to install 4 Trojan AGM GC2's on the tongue of my toy hauler. This box is designed to do exactly what I needed. I can put the 4 batteries in the box and still have room for a set of battery cables or such. Used two Uni-strut bars bolted to the bottom of the box above the tongue and then two bars of uni-strut below the tongue and used 4 - seven inch long bolts to hold the uni-strut "solidly" together. This box isn't going anywhere! Box was shipped quickly and arrived without damage.
Fantastic product!!! Still looks great.
Purchased a year ago. Great storage and security for my 2 batteries at the front of my travel trailer. Works as advertised. I like the extra storage on one side for my tools and other items that I don't necessarily want to store elsewhere. I put my tools in a large plastic bag, so if moisture gets in (there are some holes on the sides and bottom that are good for air circulation - which I like) the tools don't get wet and rusted.
Great company, horrible product!! The slots cut for the lid to attach to are 1 1/8 to big allowing the lid to slid and making it extremely difficult to align. a piano hinge would make more since. The lid is about an 1/8 to small. It's EXTREMLLY difficult to close and almost impossible to lock! The battery tie down is nothing short of a joke!! It very sad as this company normally does an outstanding job. I've been a customer for a 2 years and will still continue to shop here!
Box is suited for what it is designed for, however, it is a bit under-built and over-priced. Cracked one of the tabs on the lid within the first week of use. Overall, it works but would prefer a heavier duty product for the price.
Solid product. Just want I needed. Service from etrailer was super fast. Would not hesitate to order from them again
Product delivered as promised!
Great quality, perfect fit.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
I'm using this as a battery box for my custom truck. I built a bracket to mount it to the inside of the frame. The box is ok. Upon opening the lid I found a couple of deep scratches on the back of one of the diamond plate walls. I get it... it's inside the box and out of view, but it still bothers me a little. The lid is finicky. When I rotate it down to close it, I have to "jiggle and wiggle" it before it is able to slide into the close (locking) position. My last gripe (so far) is the huge sticker with the TorkLift logo that's stuck to the front of the box. I paid a fortune for this thing, and there's no way I'm going to advertise for them on top of it all. It took a lot of effort (heat, goo gone, etc) to get that thing off. That alone is what motivated me to come on to review it. I also believe it is over-priced for what you get. After seeing it, holding it, and adapting it for my requirements... I should have just built one myself.

I leave my trailer in a remote location for six months of the year. I wanted the security of a lockable box for my batteries. I purchased the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box, converted my trailer to two x 6 volt batteries and added the solar panel. Super great choice. The batteries are trickle charged when I am away and box is super secure! Installation was easy. I had to purchase two extension arms for the box as my spot was behind my gas tanks. Called the team a etrailer and they quickly the additional hardware. I also called about solar charging of the batteries. This team is super knowledgable and offered a tremendous amount of information. This has been a great purchase and I have shared with my fellow campers too! Thanks guys for all the help!

No more wanting to take the travel trailer out and go to find the batteries dead or even worse stolen. I would absolutely say this lockable battery box with solar panel is a great product and very well built. Even before I installed this on my travel trailer the sun was hitting the solar panel at an angle in the garage and I tested the for voltage, (19 volts DC). I was totally sold on the ability of this solar panel, the solar panel was in my garage and not in direct sunlight. Although I could have installed this box with all supplied parts and hardware I took it a step further, cut some angle iron and welded the angle iron mounts on top of the frame. Turned out real nice and looks real nice too! This box looks like it should have come with my travel trailer manufacturer. Very happy costumer, feel secure about the ability to lock up my batteries and they stay charged too!

I had been looking for a quality propane tank lock and this one is exactly as described. The lock is robust and allows you to lock two propane tanks and a regulator with the lock and built in key.

TorkLift's battery box has exceeded my expectations. It houses four 100AH lithium-ion batteries that are maintained by the attached solar panel. The box was installed in minutes on my trailer and locks keeping the batteries safe from theft. The quality of the material and the workmanship are first rate. By using some additional solar panels I can now boon dock for much longer periods of time.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
This battery box worked out perfectly. Greg was awesome in helping me figure what I needed. Just to help clarify, the box does come with a 8amp power regulator. It's hidden under the solar panel and you have to remove the panel from the lid to see it, otherwise you would not know it's there.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
The box is very nice but it suffers from on FATAL FLAW, namely, that it isn't secure against anybody but the most casual thief. Why? Because it is keyed with the infamous CH751 key, which anybody can buy offline for a couple of bucks. This isn't etrailer's fault, of course--they only sell the thing and didn't design it. But now I gotta figure out a way to add security to an already costly box. I must say that service from etrailer was great--the box arrived at my house just 3 days after I ordered it.

Fast etrailer delivery. The box is extremely well made, high quality mounting hardware included. Easy to install, good directions. Design of the lid allows install in a tight location.
