Marine Battery Box Power Center for Trolling Motor Leads with Meter and 12V Accessory Plugs (Battery Not Included), 1820175

This is an excellent product for the price point. If one were to buy all the components separately this product would cost nearly double the price. I paid $56 dollars for this product. The circuit breaker and power level gauge alone cost about that price. Throw in a rather sturdy case and two dc outlets with circuit breaker make this product an easy buy. Oh, and the outside post terminals are extremely convenient Pro's: 1.Battery can be charged from the outside post. Thus you never have to open the top of the case. 2. Power gauge/meter is a great feature. 3.The 2 DC outlets work great. Before I bought this power center I connected a DC outlet to my battery and it fried my charger. No issues with this thus far. 4. Case is rather sturdy and built of decent quality. Con's: 1. Battery gauge/meter only works accurately if the motor has been off for 60 seconds. This is written on the box itself. Not a big deal but it would be nice if you could test the battery while the motor is running. 2. As some have commented I wish the top snapped onto the bottom of the box. The strap is what is used to connect the bottom and top box together. It doesn't feel secure so I just grab the box by the bottom of the box. Not a big deal. Overall, this product is excellent. The con's are me just nit picking and for the price this is a no brainer. I did several hours of researching this type of product and buying the componets seperately. This is the best product that I could find that has everything you need and is the best overall value I could find. Hope that helps. Battery Info: For those individuals who where wondering about 27 batteries and bigger fitting into this product. This Minn Kota Power Center fits my EverStart 29DC Marine Battery from Wal-Mart. However, it is a tight fit and this case would not hold anything much bigger. Many have commented that this only fits 27 batteries or smaller but this is not true. Wal-Mart lists the dimensions of my 29DC battery at 13 inches x 6.75 X 10 (L x W x H). I am not recommending getting a 29 size battery and Minn Kota only rates this to fit 27 or smaller sized batteries but this product is excellent considering the price point. Closing the top on the 29DC battery takes a little caress but this is not an issue since you never really have to take off the top cover since you can charge the battery from the outside posts.

This thing is really cool. I just bought a new marine/RV deep cycle Interstate SRM27 battery that fits nicely inside the Power Center container. Hooked up my trolling motor to the main terminals, and my lights and depth finder to the 2 accessory plug jacks. Works great! I like how it has a separate circuit breaker for the 10 amp accessory circuit, and the 60 amp main circuit. I'm using 1 or 2 amp inline fuses with the accessory plugs so I should never trip the 10 amp acc circuit, but I do like how they're separated. I also really like the built- in battery power gauge. You don't get an exact DC voltage reading, but it does give you a high level feel for where your battery is at power-wise. 4 light readings, red-yellow-green lights for recharge, 1/2 power, and full power readings. No more guessing at how much juice you have left. The plastic box feels pretty sturdy and you'll need the included strap to securely tie down the top when it's in your boat. Not sure how much I'll be using the handle on top when moving the battery around. You can use it as long as the strap's on tight, but I like using the handles on the lower part of the box where the battery sits. Feels more secure to me when lifting my 50 lb battery. So far I've only been using it in my garage while I've been tweaking my boat's electrical system. Can't wait to check it out on the water in the Spring when my boat will be ready.

I bought this for my open-bow Lund Alaskan S-18 to power the bow-mounted trolling motor. There are similar products in various locations online but none of them is designed for the 27-31 battery size. . .even though they say they are. So, be careful ordering similar products online. That said, battery sizes 27-31 will definitely fit this box. In fact, the 27 needs a little padding on three sides to keep it from moving around (half-inch Styrofoam or similar). The box is pre-wired with #6 leads with terminals to accommodate threaded battery posts with wing nuts. The female 12v receptacles that you see on either end are wired behind a panel on the lid which is offset so as not to interfere with your battery terminal connectivity, (a downfall of similar online products). The real beauty of this pre-wired box are the circuit breakers: no need to fiddle with in-line fuses between your trolling motor and the battery - it's all taken care in those breakers. Literally, all you gotta' do is insert your battery, connect the terminals, close and latch the lid and connect your trolling motor wires to the external terminals. Another pleasant surprise was the strap buckle. I was thinking it'd be one of those goofy buckles that almost nobody knows how to thread or tighten and always ends up slipping - those things remain a mystery to me. This one has a male/female adjustable clasp like a law enforcement duty belt. It does not slip: take it apart by squeezing the sides of the male end, adjust it and plug it back into the female end.. The one complaint I might have about this box is the quality and thickness of the plastic. It does feel week when you're carrying a 50# battery around in it. And I don't doubt that the plastic would fatigue if left in the sun for a few years. On the other hand, no one that I know looks forward to carrying 50# batteries and when they do it's a two-hand affair: the side grips/handles on this work great. Anyway, this thing will likely spend most of its life in the boat being moved short distances. This is the best deep cycle battery box I've seen. Highly recommended.

Parfait et complet juste prendre les poignées pour soulever avec batterie (33kg)

todavia no lo he probado, pero considero es un buen product para el proposito por el cual lo compre. gracias

Esta bien

Probably the most expensive plastic box I've ever bought, and like others thought that at the price it included the battery, I think that Minn Kota should make it absolutely clear in their blurb that it does not, I think that the description 'Power Center' is misleading, I had to spend another £90.00 on a leisure battery to go in it. However that said I am not unhappy with my purchase because it does protect the battery and the additional 12v sockets in the lid are very useful for running other things when I'm not using it to power the motor for my dinghy, hence I've given it 5 stars.

Good and useful product if you need power to carry around for camping or boat. But the only down sine of it that it doesn't have any battery holder inside the box to secure the battery.
