Step 1:
Remove the Power Armor Lid by sliding the lid away from the side with
the lock, then lifting the front edge and unhooking the lid from the tabs on
the rear of the box. The Power Armor Battery Box has four slots cut into
the bottom of the box. Use a sharp knife to make an incision in the Battery
Mat over each of the slots. This will allow for the Battery Straps to pass
through the slots.
Step 2:
On each side of the Power Armor Battery Box, insert the non-buckled end
of a Battery Strap down through the outer slot and back up through the
inner slot (see figure 0.1 for slot locations.) Leave approximately 10” of the
buckled end inside of the box.
Depending on mounting, the battery straps will not be able to slide through
the slots after the box is mounted. Place a battery into the Power Armor
Battery Box and adjust the Battery Straps into a suitable position on both
sides. Remove the battery and Battery Mat before proceeding.

Step 3:
The 2” hole in the front/back panel of the Power Armor Battery Box is
used to allow the battery cables to enter the battery box. It can be mounted
to either the front or rear of the trailer as long as there is sufficient room to
open and remove the Power Armor Lid. There are four mounting options
described in these instructions.
Option 1: PAGE 6: Mounting on top of the trailer A-frame. Use this
option if all four corners of the Power Armor Battery Box will sit on top
of the A-frame.
Option 2: PAGE 7: Mounting on top of the trailer A-frame using the
Angle Extension Brackets. Use this option if the box is not wide enough
for the rear corners to sit on the A-frame.
Option 3: PAGE 9: Mounting in the factory battery box location
between the rails.Use this option if your Power Armor Battery box will
fit in between the factory battery box support rails.
Option 4: PAGE 10: Mounting in the factory battery box location above
the rails. Use this option if your Power Armor Battery Box will mount in
the factory battery box location, but can’t fit between the battery support
rails.

Step 3: Option 1
Place the Power Armor Battery Box on top of the trailer A-frame. Mark
each corner of the box where it will screw down into the trailer A-frame,
and drill a 3/16” pilot hole. Use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drilling Screws and
1/4" SS USS Flat Washers to screw the Power Armor Battery Box into
the Trailer A-frame. See figure 3.1
Front/Back View- Figure 3.1

Step 3: Option 2
Measure the mounting width required for the rear of the Power Armor
Battery Box. Insert one 1/4"-20 x 1” SS Hex Bolt with one 1/4" SS USS
Washer into two of the “Long Side Holes” on each side of the battery box.
(see figure 0.1) Secure the Angle Extension Brackets to the box with one
1/4" SS USS Flat Washer and one 1/4"-20 SS Nylock nut per bolt. Any of
the slots in the Angle Extension Brackets can be used as long as the
previously measured mounting width is achieved. See figure 3.2

Side View- Figure 3.2
Drill a 3/16” pilot hole and use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drill Screws to secure the
outside of each Angle Extension Bracket to the A-frame of the trailer. To
keep the Power Armor Battery Box level, use two 1/4" SS USS Flat
Washersas a shim under each of the front corners of the Power Armor
Battery Box. Drill a 3/16” pilot hole and use a 1/4" x 1” Self-Drill Screw
to secure the front corners of the Power Armor Battery Box through the
1/4" SS USS Flat Washers and into the trailer’s A-frame. See Figure 3.3
Front/Back View- Figure 3.3

Step 3: Option 3
Place the Power Armor Battery Box between the factory battery support
rails. Drill a 3/16” Pilot hole in each corner of the Power Armor Battery
Box and through the battery support rails. The existing holes in the battery
box can be used if they are placed appropriately for your application. Use
the supplied 1/4" x 1” Self-Drilling Screws to secure each corner to the
battery support rails. See figure 3.4
