The vented version is used where battery gas ventilation is required, while the non-vented version is for installations that specifically call for a non-vented battery box. Battery location, compartment ventilation, and applicable boat requirements should be checked before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9065-1: Vented.

This configuration uses a non-vented cover for applications where that enclosure style is required by the installation layout or system specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box should be mounted on a flat, supported surface where the battery can sit level and the strap can hold it firmly in place.

The 40 in hold-down strap and mounting hardware are included, so the installer can secure the box and battery as part of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis battery box is a practical fit for small boats, fishing boats, runabouts, pontoons, and trailerable boats using a Group 24 starting or house battery.
