5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Story of This Here Battery Box
So, crazy story, I purchase this item to go along with the Inventex 5-person inflatable boat and battery and hook it all up to a trolling motor and hit our lake with my wife during the day. So much fun. Everything works perfectly as it should. We get back to the dock and I tie up the raft and head up to the cabin. Around sunset, I ask her if she wants to go down to watch the sunset and she agrees, so we head down to the dock with a couple of cocktails. The wind had picked up quite a bit and we got some rain earlier, but the rain cleared up but much to our chagrin, it was still on the windier side. But the sunset was beautiful. As we are walking towards the dock, I notice the raft is upside down on our dock. I think to myself, 'our neighbors are so great, they flipped up our raft before it started raining. So kind of them. What lovely neighbors'. We get a little closer and I notice the raft is only 3/4 of the way out of the water and the trolling motor propeller was completely upside down out of the water and spinning like crazy. At first, I thought it was the wind spinning the propeller, but then I thought, the propeller is fixed in gear and shouldn't blow in the wind. As we get on the dock, we realize that the boat had blown over and the Battery Box was completely underwater hanging only by the trolling motor cables 3-feet below the waterline. The trolling motor handle somehow bumped the dock or pole and kicked into gear as the boat blew over and the box (and battery) was completely submerged - but could still see a little blue blinking light of the battery box underwater. I tried to pull the box out of the water by the trolling motor cables, the whole time thinking these cables are going to snap or break at the connection point, but it was so windy that the raft was acting like a sail in the wind and pushing me away from getting at the cables to pull the battery box up. So, I lie down on the dock and try pulling up the 70-pound, completely submerged battery which was pretty much impossible. I needed my wife's help to try and get the battery box out of the water, but was concerned for her safety and wondering how to do this - again, thinking the entire time that the cables were going to snap any moment and the battery box and battery would be at the bottom of the lake. The boat was putting so much pressure on the dock that it completely bent the reel on a fishing rod that was stuck in between. Fast forward past the part where we almost killed ourselves a few times, we finally get the battery box onto the dock, turn off the trolling motor, unhook the cables, open the battery box to find only about an inch of water in the box and the battery, itself, completely unscathed. I brought everything into the garage, dried it all off, let it sit for a couple hours before reassembling everything to recharge the battery from outside the box only to come out the next morning to a full charge and steady indicator light, as if nothing had ever happened! This box is a BEAST! From the strength of the connectors, to the good water-tightness (not waterproof) of the box and to the box's ability to work after being completely underwater for Lord only knows how long, this box is something else. Three lessons I learned: (1) invest in a good battery box (like this one), (2) strap it down tight and (3) never, ever leave your trolling motor hooked up to your inflatable raft that you leave in the water unattended (such a moron). Thankfully, no one got hurt and thanks to the battery box - nothing was damaged or lost and all is in perfect working order. Bam!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great
Used with a Pipo4 battery hooked to solar. Fit perfect behind the seat in my truck. Got another one to use for the trolling motor on the boat. East to use for phone charger and anthing that is 12 volt. Wish there was a way to turn off the blinking blue light. It is very bright. Well made and durable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well designed, looks good too.
This battery box was well designed, appears to be made of good quality materials and is very stout. I bought it to hold one of the batteries on my boat and it is serving me well. The battery tester on top works well and seems fairly accurate. Having a USB port that is easily accessible along with a standard 12V port was a good thought in today's world of electronic gadgets, and all of it is protected by circuit "breakers". I've been using it a few times a week for the past month or so and from what I see so far I expect it will last for many years.
4.0 out of 5 stars Well built and good value for what you get
This box comes with 2 circuit breakers, a 12v car plug, and a pair of 60a terminals installed with 8awg wiring to support it. It would cost me more to get a blank box and add these features to it than what I get all-in-one here.That said, I did add another 30a breaker + another set of terminals to allow powering my boat's existing electric items. This box is made with common screws and breakers so it was quite easy to match and upgrade. I really appreciate that everything is easy to disassemble, no rivets, or anything that impeded a quick upgrade. The plastic is soft and very easy to modify.I also added a coulombmeter to get an amp hour readout from my battery, as the included tester is geared for lead batteries and mostly useless for LiFEpo4 batts. It does in fact fit a Group 31 battery perfectly.The USB port is really basic and only will output 0.5a -- I wish both it and the battery tester were a little more modern. Similarly, the strap around the box is literally the only thing keeping the top attached. Need to be mindful if you are picking up this box to grab it from the sides, and not the top handle as ultimately you have one plastic clip on the strap holding everything together. It's odd because the handle on top is reinforced and very stout. I would have liked to see some sort of positive closure on the top but then again it's going to live its life mostly strapped into the back of my boat, with the only forces acting on it is the wind when I travel down the highway. For those items -1 star but you won't be disappointed with this box regardless.
5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch marine battery solution
Picked this up to securely and safely store and transport a 12V 100AH LiFePo4 battery for a trolling motor. I was tempted to repurpose a dry box for this purpose, but this Newport battery box was cheaper than building my own, includes niceties like a 12V cigarette lighter port and USB built in and is just very well-designed for its purpose, even including a handy carry handle. Plenty of room for the most common 12V battery sizes and extremely sturdy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product and used once so far
Does what it is suppose to do and ran my trolling motor. excellent choice for me and my kayak and my kayak is only 10ft long. I had plenty of space on the back for it and it worked just fine :)
Très satisfait
Produit de qualité et fonctionne très bien.
Buen producto.
The media could not be loaded. Me gustaría lo fabricaron mas pequeño para baterías mas chicas, no funciona el puerto USB, los opresores de cables, si no tienes cuidado, los puedes perder, estaría bien que estuvieran asegurados con algún cable para evitar pérdidas en el mar o por descuido.
Great product
Great product
Superb quality
Great for carrying your battery to the boat, easy connections for charging, solar charger connects easily, I put a foam pad on the top for fishing hooks. Nice to have a phone charger foe emergency and long days on the lake. Peace of mind for battery protection.
