This is the best thing since sliced bre ad. 852601

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. 729256

This TorkLift PowerArmor Single Locking Battery Box is the most ingeniously designed battery lock-box ever - the lid comes completely off with just a slight adjustment toward the narrow end. No worries about battery-access, even in the tightest spot, so long as there's about an inch front/back of the box to accommodate the lid's front lip & the back "tabs/hinges" - simply shift the lid slightly toward the narrow end, open it and lift it off. This allows for complete and open access to the entire inside of the box. The cable access hole is dead-center just below the lid on the back/hinged side. I might have to make access holes to the left and right of that hole in order to get my seemingly shorter cables attached - shortest route would be best for my configuration, anyway. If that's the case, I'll have to figure out how to plug the hole, but that's the least of my concerns - securing my RV battery is paramount and this box is sure to do the job - and look mighty stylish at the same time. 732595

Installation was straight forward. Product is of high quality and quite sturdy. I have no concerns this will secure my battery against passive theft. 665478

Very easy to read directions with everything I need to get up and going. Just add a couple of cables to the mix and I get my two batteries up and running and keep them charged. Will be using it on my R-Pod trailer while boondoggling. Hoping that the solar panel will keep batteries charged when I'm not using the R-Pod. That way, they will be charged when I'm ready to go. Happy to have it lockable so that there is less of a chance of theft of batteries. 381634

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 ! 529556

Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes

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! 323347

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 484401

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! 398868

It has been a super product. I think that the only weak link is the connector from the panel to the outside of the box. That is clearly showing UV damage. I do not know if any of your customers ever used the external female plug to the battery for anything else - I did and found the box is wired backwards based on RED being hot! I did check all my wiring to make sure red is to positive inside the box. Since I dry camp, I bring in 30-40 gallons of water per trip. I purchased a 12v self priming water pump and proceeded to connect the same type trailer connector to my pump Did not want to have to keep opening the box up. To my surprise the pump ran backwards. I used the alligator clips to the battery and the pump ran correctly. I determined that female connector on the outside of the box is not wired with red to the positive. I simply reversed my connection and the pump runs correctly now. Great product. Wish you had a ventilated security box for my honda e2000 generator.

At this time we do not offer an enclosed security box for your Honda e2000 generator at this time.

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! 289329

Thank you for following up on your products. We are very happy with our purchase and so glad that your products are such good quality. Have had many camping friends ask questions about were we purchased our secure battery box and we just had to share! As we travel around the state parks and camp grounds we always have people asking us were we got this setup, hope this helped your sales go up. We just know everyone is as happy as we are and thank you again for such a nice product!

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. 390009

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. 892074

A lot of dirt finds it's way inside the container, and accumulates on the batteries. 864906

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. 855250

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. 828649

Best thing I bought for my trailer. It only looks good, but also works great! Converting from the 12v to 2 6v are the best way to do dry camping. Not mention the solar charging... Thanks etrailer! 818935

Excellent! Well made and perfect for securing the battery for my boat lift. I ordered a second one after I was confident it would work as I had planned...thanks! 773763

Review from a similar PowerArmor in Battery Boxes

Nice 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. 770816
