Good looking box, easy to install on my travel trailer frame. Got the solar panel, and it's great at keeping my batteries charged up. Great product.



by:

Works Excellent. Installed as Instructions stated to the Letter. Fabrication will be required. Limited space, to hold batteries in place may need to use, lifting tool to aid in the battery installation. Isolate the Batteries from touching the sides of the inside of the box and shorting out, driving over uneven road. But This Box looks and work Beautifully. The Solar-Cell does Great Job too!



by:

Installed this in less than an hour. Good quality, but be warned...the edges around the top of the box are very sharp!

The box didn't fit my battery rails as indicated by the dimensions provided, so I had to use a different mounting (alternative provided in the installation instructions).

Easily takes two Class 24 batteries. So far not a problem. Might change the lock, since it looks like one of those "everybody" has a key locks.



by:

The capacity of the solar panel is only strong enough to maintain a 90 - 100 % charged battery. ANY drain (detectors, radio display panel) on the battery, while in storage, will negate the maintaining power. I disconnect my fully-charged battery before storage.



by:

This thing is absolutely great! It is mounted on the boat trailer - the battery for the boat winch lives in it. The solar panel provides necessary amount of charge to keep the battery full even with daily usage. Highly recommended!



by:

I paid quite a bit extra by choosing the battery box with the solar panel included. I understand that being the size panel it is, it would not supply an abundance of charge to my two camper batteries, however, I did expect it to at least keep a small trickle on my batteries. The box is great, however don’t be fooled by the overpriced solar option. It did absolutely nothing for my batteries. I actually no longer even connect the panel as it is useless.



by:

This thing is perfect. Mounting it was a breeze. I have two 12v lithium batteries and a kill switch inside. Everything fits perfectly. I'm thinking about upgrading to the larger unit that will hold four batteries as we have a residential fridge. On the fence with the solar panel. It just isn't in a good spot for a lot of sunlight.



by:

Excellent service and response. I had my order in a couple of days. Everything was as advertised. (as always). The battery box works perfectly for our use.



by:

I highly recommend the TorkLift Solar Locking Battery Box TLA7708RS. It is well made and protects your batteries from theft. The solar panel maintain a charge as advertised. Changes I would suggest are upgrading the 4 screws on the solar wire entrance port to stainless steel, and providing foam inserts to keep the batteries in place once installed. The battery tie downs provided won't keep the batteries from shifting if travailing on rough roads. I used marine grade connectors/shrink wrap, high end battery jumpers, and wire looms so once installed it is a "forget about it" project until the batteries require replacement down the road. A wire kit providing these items and lengths of various gauge wire would be a good product option for this box. Will upgrade to two 6 volts batteries when these wear out.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Got the box installed but had to remove the center battery hold down. The batteries were LIFEPO4 and designed for the box but were about 1/8” too wide to slip in. Works fine and installed easy but need to rethink the width of the center hold down!



by:

Perfect. Compact, sturdy, safe, and easily fit onto my trailer A-frame. exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. My two 6-volt batteries, with water filling system fit with ease. Thanks



by:

Extremely well built, however it is a bit overpriced…



by:

Was able to finely mount the Battery Storage Box on my RV Trailer. Had weld a couple of angle iron pieces on the top of the frame. Very pleased with the finished product



by:

I am very happy with this purchase. I rent my trailer out on outdoorsy and this past season I had several complaints about not enough battery power. Well this is part of the solution.

I have a Rockwood Roo with a residential fridge, starlink, TV, etc we refuse to disconnect from the internet so more battery bank is a must.

I installed 4 of the Interstate 6v AGM deep cycle batteries for 420 amp hours.

This box is sturdy and easy to install, looks great too.



by:

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.



by:

Great security for my two 6v AGM batteries. Fit perfectly between the rails on my trailer.



by:

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!



by:

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!

by:

GREAT box BUT, they don't mention that you need a solar controller if only using one battery . So there is some added cost , although minimal . I would buy again !!!



by:

Easy to install. So far it is working great. Have 2 12 volt batteries installed inside for my camper. and I will see if it is really working in a couple weeks when I go back to check on it and hopefully my batteries will not be dead.



by:

This box was very easy to install on my 2016 Shadow Cruiser 24' trailer. The box barely fit between the rails on the battery tray, which made the installation very easy. I had to take some seamers and open up the angle a little bit for it to fit in there. It worked out though, because it is nice and snug in the battery tray. The instructions were very helpful with offering 3 other options on how to install the box if it won't fit in the battery tray on your specific trailer, and it provides very good hardware for each option. The instructions also have a very easy to read wiring diagram for using one or two 12 volt batteries or two 6 volt batteries. I'm excited to use the solar trickle charger on my two new 6 volt golf cart batteries. The two 6 volt batteries fit inside the box perfectly, and there was enough room to move them to one side so you could stick your hand down in the bottom of the box to grab the battery hold down straps. I'm thinking I will be very happy with this battery box.



by:

I installed the battery box a few weeks ago and just got back from a camping trip for almost 3 weeks. The small solar panel and the battery box performed great! I had a little bit of challenge,
trying to install it on my own, but connected with our local RV repair shop who helped me.

  • What Battery Group Size Fits the Torklift Battery Box TLA7712RS the Best
    Hey Rob, so Torklift does not have a lift of all battery groups that fit in the box part # TLA7712RS but if you know the 65 size works great I would just go with that size. The internal dimensions of this box are 23-1/2" long x 7-5/8" wide x 12-1/4" tall.

  • Is There a Way To Lock The Lid On The Commercial Grade Battery Box # 329-HM408?
    The Commercial Grade Battery Box # 329-HM408 does not offer a way to lock the lid from the manufacturer. Since the box is a molded plastic it wouldn't be to difficult to add 2 Hasps # 720DPF to lock the lid in place. We do have boxes like the TorkLift # TLA7712RS which are lockable and since it is a steel construction it would be much harder to break into than the plastic box you found.

  • Battery Boxes Capable Of Holding 6V LifeLine Battery GPL-4CT On Trailer Tongue
    For 6-volt battery boxes we have a couple options to hold your two 6V lifeline GPL-4CT batteries. I was able to see that this battery is 10.28" long, 7.06" wide and 9.92" tall. First is the Commercial Grade Battery Box # 329-HM426 which is designed to hold 2 6 volt batteries. The interior dimensions are 14-5/8" long, 10-1/2" wide and 11-1/2" tall. The Exterior is 17-15/16" long, 14-5/16" wide and 14" tall. Next the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7712RS will allow...

  • Availability of Insulated Battery Box for Lithium Batteries in the Cold
    None of our battery boxes, like the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7712RS, are insulated so you will need to account for that with your Lithium batteries. The particular battery box you were looking at has the solar panel to help keep it charged when your trailer isn't connected to your tow vehicle. If you are looking for a way to add something like that then I highly recommend installing the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D because it not only...

  • Battery Box for Two Lithium Batteries
    Hey Catherine! Assuming you want the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar the closest option is the # TLA7712RS. The overall dimensions are 24" long x 9-5/8" wide x 12-3/4" tall with inside dimensions of 23-1/2" long x 7-5/8" wide x 12-1/4" tall. This is also available without the solar panel # TLA7712R. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Can TorkLift PowerArmor Charger Be Installed as well as Other Solar Panel
    Since you can run multiple 12 volt input sources to a battery without issue you certainly could run the solar panel charger of the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7712RS as well as a different solar panel charger setup at the same time.
