NOCOSnap-Top BG6V Battery Box, Single 6V Battery Box for Marine, Automotive, RV, Boat, Camper and Travel Trailer Batteries

I have been using Noco battery boxes to carry my lithium iron phosphate batteries for nearly four years at this point. LiFePO4 battery prices have dropped significantly in the past four years, so I decided to buy a new 100AH 12V LFP battery, and needed a battery box for it. I saw the Noco BG6V battery box available on VINE and decided to order it to try it out.I was looking for a Group 24 box (and there is an equivalent Noco product “BG24” for group 24 batteries), but I saw the BG6V being nearly the same footprint as BG24 but slightly taller, and decided I wanted the slightly roomier box.I have a previous version of the BG24, the HM300BK, but it has a lot of customizations done to it and doesn’t look very photogenic, so instead I took comparison pictures to a HM318BK (Group 24-31 battery box of the previous generation) to help readers visualize my feedback.The BG6V makes a good first impression. It was delivered by Amazon in a Noco-branded cardboard box, which ensured the battery box arrives in pristine condition. I then took the battery box out of the cardboard box, and really liked the much more streamlined appearance. The big notches on the front for wire to come out of, and the side handles which used to stick out are all much sleeker in the new design.I then opened the battery box, and put my battery in it, and closed the lid. The new lid retention mechanism is much easier to use than the previous design. Gone are the two tabs that must be slid into small openings to close or pushed on to open. Instead, pushing the lid down on the box secures the lid, and grabbing the lid and pulling then outward slightly disengages the latches. It’s too early to know for certain, but I think the new lid retention mechanism is more secure than the previous design too.Finally, I noticed the venting holes on the lid of the battery box are gone. I did not like the previous rectangular openings. The new design are holes that users drill out if they desire ventilation. I find the battery box has plenty of ventilation due to the openings for wires to exit already, so do not plan to drill the vent holes.The BG6V appears to be made of similar material and thickness as the previous design, so I have confidence it will last a long time. I like this battery box a lot.

I got one of these for our trailer to house the battery out of the elements. It's well made and the measurements from the description are accurate. I like the side ports that you can run wiring out of as well as the narrow area for adding a strap to hold it secure. Comes with a pack of screws to secure the bottom plate. Top snaps on securely and it comes with a strap to hold it all together as well. I hope this was helpful!

I use this outside for solar battery. The lid doesn't fit very tight. I put a rock on it because I was worried it would blow away. I like the material. I think it will last.

I like how sturdy and well made this battery cover was made. It fits the battery for my car well and it was easy to move with the side handles and I felt confident that the battery wouldn’t fall off.

Helps keep battery in place and out of the elements.
