Review on πŸ”‹ NOCO HM082BKS Group U1 Snap Top Battery Box for Mobility & Lawn/Garden Batteries - Black by Brandon Grzankowski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits Miata NA battery well

Recently purchased from a friend, a 1993 Miata had nothing with a battery to do except cables. The clamp and battery were easy to access, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of looking for the original battery compartment. I didn't need a lid for my application. I installed some of the battery pad material I had laying around into the grooves around the crisscross pattern on the bottom. Needless, but I've had stuff. I placed a small strip of flimsy rubber inside the car under where the box would sit, placed the battery inside the box and lifted it into place using the handy handles on the side of the box. The increased height of the parts used and the maintenance-free Napa battery required a slight bend in the battery holder and I made my own 6x1.0 threaded J-hook. I was very happy with the result and decided to share the information. Overall the box is very well made for the price and should work well with lawn mowers and trailers.

Pros
  • Has patented latches to securely attach cover to base and reinforced handles to prevent tearing when moving
Cons
  • thin
