Where to get proper sealed battery boxes?

[rwoofer]

I need to get another battery box for a second battery to match the box already in the boat. The original box was factory fitted by Jeanneau as seen is this picture of a similar boat:



Ideally I would like to get the same, but after an hour of searching and I can't really find any boxes (let alone the original fit one) that are properly sealed and vented via a hose to the outside of the boat. Any ideas?

Gas lockers?

Seems like I'm not alone in not coming up with anything. What I find curious is that nearly every boat I have bought comes with an OEM battery box that does that job properly, but for some mysterious reason none are available aftermarket...

I would hazard a guess that pretty much every battery retailer will have them in the accessory section.

I think the key part of the OP was properly vented.

I'me looking for a battery box too, and I have only been able to find those flimsy blow-moulded things. And yet, as has been pointed out, manufacturers clearly have sources of good, well made, rigid battery boxes. My new one, for an engine starter battery, is probably going to live at the bottom of the cockpit locker, so need to have a pretty strong top; I've had no luck in finding anything suitable.

Can't the Jeanneau spares people help?

None of the items pointed out above are properly sealed with vents ( except one which isn't big enough to take 110Ah battery's). On the case with Jeanneau, but nothing yet.

I guess this is one way to do it, may be expensive... http://www.tek-tanks.com/about-us/battery-boxes/
