Lead Acid Battery Trays
About Battery Boxes
A battery box, also known as a battery tray, is a metal compartment for holding an industrial battery, like those used on forklifts. For dry cells, the battery box makes electrical contact with the battery terminals. For wet cells, cables are linked to the battery terminals.
