Address corrosion problems, broken vent tubes, warped lids and cracking with this new battery box.
Bogert’s battery box is a bolt in replacement for most Piper Cherokees regardless of original metal or plastic box installation. It is similar to Piper’s metal sloped top box, but with several improvements.
First, the box construction is welded stainless steel with stainless steel drain tube instead of soldered seams and copper drain tube. Secondly, if a vent tube becomes damaged, the screw in vent tube design allows for a quick and inexpensive change. Bogert also incorporated a previous STC, SA4008NM, The Battery Box Modification into this box. The modification’s u-shaped nylon flanges offer extra protection against shorting, greater access to the battery and cleaner electrical connections resulting in reliable starting. The boxes are available in bare stainless steel finish, but they highly suggest taking advantage of the powder coating. It is a few dollars more but will provide maximum resistance to corrosion.
