Howdy all,
In process of planning a battery replacement. I've got a 2001 Mainship 390. You can see from the pic, I have 2 8D's. One is starting, one is house...there is also another 4d for house on the other side you can't see. Note the vertical post...I've got limited space to deal with.

I'm planning to replace the 8D's with 4x Group 31 AGM's. I really would like to box the batteries, you can see they are kind of strapped down, but FLA's...and really should have been boxed.
I'm having a real hard time finding anything but the super cheap flimsy Group 31 battery boxes with the .12 cent strap. I'd like a box I can secure correctly...more than a strap.
The 8D batteries in there are about 20-1/4" x 11".
I'm not finding much in the way of decent boxes. Now I'm wondering if I should skip the box, and find a nicer tray/hold down system. I *think* since they are AGM's boxing is not required, correct? I know it's a good idea to box them.
Guide me, oh wise TF'ers!
Thank you.
