Battery relocator for a truck?

[porksoda 10+ year member]

Hey guys i was wondering where i could probably buy this at. Well what i am trying to say is i am gonna put a second battery in my truck for my system, but i dont have room under the hood or in the cab so i was thinking of putting it in my truck bed. But i do not have a bed cover. So is there any kind of boxes to hold batteries and that can be locked and bolted down so someone wont go on and still my battery? I was thinking of getting a yellow top for the system so yeah. Also if you have pictures of how yours is set up post them so i can get ideas. Thanks alot guys!

You'll most likely have to fabricate one, but make sure it is vented. My car actually has a box that covers the battery and is bolted down.

I was thinking about this today also, Im just going to build one from wood.

Or buy one of those white plastic boxes with a red top, I have no idea where to get one though

Check summitracing.com They have metal batt boxes and you should be able to bolt them down from the inside. Might be able to come up with a lock for the lid too

they are pricey though :/

I saw this before but I really dont want it to take up that much space. I was thinking just a little box to bolt down or something:

Any local RV or boat shop will have a variety of battery boxes...

Still your battery?

Why dont you have room in the cab?

they do this on big trucks and was where I always planned on putting one. Not sure if you got the room though but maybe get one of those boxes from summit and mount it to the outside of your frame just behind the cab and ahead of the back wheel, should be plenty of room there. Can put it up high too so that the body protects it and won't take up any bed space

Look into a small tool box for the bed.
