The TG Side-by-Side Battery Box will keep your battery where you want it, even on the toughest rocks and trails. We have all seen the results of batteries not held in place securely, or held in place by bungie cords: fire and sparks. The TG Side-by-Side Battery Box can either be welded or bolted into place with mounting holes located on the bottom of the battery box. Bolts on the back side allows for two battery boxes to be bolted together to form a four battery holder. The TG Side-by-Side Battery Box is CNC laser cut and formed form 12 gauge steel and is shipped unfinished. Once the TG Side-by-Side Battery Box has been mounted, you simply remove the three bolts and the top lifts off allowing you to remove or install the battery in minutes. The TG Side-by-Side Battery Box can either be mounted behind your seat or cab due to its “flat back” design. The TG Side-by-Side Battery Box works with any optima 34/78 group battery.
