17-3/4" x 8-3/16" x 12-7/16" Box keeps batteries safe and secure. Built-in solar panel provides power to maintain charge for batteries. Perfect for marine or boat trailer applications.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.
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.
I just received this product today shipped out right away good condition very well packed its the charge I'm after if you order this product make sure you measure where you plan to install my sway bars made it a bigger puzzle for me but this unit is well built have fun with power
This is the best thing since sliced bre ad.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
I am so thrilled with this battery box. I was a little concerned about how well it's size would do on my relatively small 16+ foot trailer. However, it fits great and the quality of the box is excellent and worth the investment. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to include side wall liner to protect against accidental sparking while the user is trying to (clumsily) connect several batteries inside the box. However, I highly recommend.

Used on my boat trailer to secure the battery for a power winch install. This is the way to go over hand winching.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
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 !

Package was delivered early which was very helpful. etrailer.com always provides great customer service.
The product was as expected and came with all parts and instructions. The battery box was easy to install and fit into the area on my trailer as expected. This is a super product for adding additional batteries to a travel trailer.

Box works great, but it will not shut properly and allow
It to be locked. The tabs are not correctly cut out and welded. Luckily it is being used on my property and not a movable trailer so I don’t have to worry about it being stolen.

I like this box a lot, but when it arrived it was bent some, which made it difficult to get the lid off. I wanted to start using it and it would have been a hassle to return it, so I deal with it. After installation (and battery installed) I almost never take the lid off, so it doesn’t matter that it is bent. The lock is a little difficult to operate because of the bend. For the cost of this it should be perfect!

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!

Boxs holds 4 group 30 battery with about4inch on one side good for a switch.. have to be careful on over turning it hit my tail light but that jack knife turning. Also keep battery cool in direct sunlight!
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
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 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.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
Overall good product but have made my own improvements which, for the price, cost it a star. I did add some stainless steel security screws in place of some of the aluminum rivets. I also had to seal around the edge were the diamond plate attaches to the main frame. The diamond plate makes a gap and it takes on a lot of water in the rain, especially when driving in the rain. Lastly I had to replace the liner they provide with some outdoor carpet. The liner which is supposed to neutralize spilled battery acid was getting a white sticky powder from all the water the box was taking on. Since I only use non-spillable batteries, the outdoor carpet is doing a much better job.

A year of owning it through new England weather and it still looks like new! Used self tapping screws to mount directly on frame. Had to use 2x4 pieces to keep battery from moving since I have a slightly smaller battery

I put this on the tongue of the travel trailer and put 4 Battleborn GC1000s in it. No issues like interference with sharp turns. Looks good too.

The battery box was pretty beat up, but once I got it straightened back out it works as advertised. Quality piece.
Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes
It did not fit in the space behind my propane tanks and the stabilizer bar supports. I had to have it retrofitted by an RV repair shop and they installed it at a 30 degree angle. I would not have bought it if I knew it was not going to fit flat. Make 100% sure if you buy one that you have enough room first. It cost me $xxx to get mine installed.

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.

Nice secure box for the battery. I did change out the lock to a barrel lock which matched my other locks on my trailer. But the box itself is really nice and had enough room for the batter and the shunt for my battery monitor.
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.

This was a good purchase, I had my battery stolen from my Rv trailer.
