- Small Vented Battery Box Recommendation For Trojan 6V Batteries
- I recommend using the Tow-Rax Battery Box # 329-HM426 for your upgraded 6V Trojan batteries. This box has internal dimensions of 11-25/32" long, 8-27/64" wide, and 10-15/16" tall which should be more than enough space to fit one battery. You will have to use two boxes if you are using two batteries.

However, you might be able to make the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box - 6V and 12V Lithium Batteries - Powder Coated Aluminum # TLA7700L work for your application. This is a locking battery box that can hold up to 2 batteries and you could potentially figure out a way to mount it in the floor of your trailer if needed with some fabrication.

- I'm assuming that you're speaking of an Optima Blue Top battery like their D34M which measures 10 inches long x 6.88 inches W x 7.8 inches tall.
We do indeed offer a box that would accommodate 4 batteries of that size, with some room to spare. I'd recommend the # TLA7710R from Torklift. The box measures 58-1/2 x 7-5/8 x 12-3/4 inches, so it would accommodate up to 5 batteries of that size.
Torklift doesn't offer a vent setup, but the box does slots for proper ventilation.

- There could be a few reasons that is causing your battery to drain after installing The Curt Harness # C56208. I recommend first testing to see if you have a bad converter box. While the fuse is in place, test the 4-way flat connector on the harness without any vehicle lights on using The Hook Probe Circuit Tester # PTW2993. You will need to test each pin. If you're getting a constant power at any of the pins with the vehicle lights off, then the converter box is bad and would need to be...

view full answer... - Recommended Circuit Breaker and Wire Gauge for Wiring 7-way Trailer Connector
- For a circuit breaker, I recommend using a 40 amp circuit breaker, like the Pollak 40amp In-Line Circuit Breaker # 9510. The wire that runs to the battery will connect to the gold post, and the line that connects to the junction box will connect to the silver post.
Usually, 10 gauge wire is used for the 12V power. I recommend using # 10-1-1. This 10 gauge wire is sold by the foot. To make connections with this wire, you will want to use 12-10 gauge wire ring terminals # DW05705-1 or 12-10...

Aside from the wiring and lights there are a few other things you will need. The switch that you use will depend on how much draw you expect to have, which is determined by the amount of lights you have and the...
