Camco Group 24 Fit USCG / ABYC Compliant Camco 55362 Standard Battery Box -- Secure, Protect, and Contain Your Group 24 Battery

Keep your RV or boat battery protected from the elements, corrosion, and road vibration. The Camco 55362 battery box is a rugged, lightweight polypropylene enclosure sized for Group 24 batteries. It ships complete with a lift-off lid, hold-down strap, foot clamps, and hardware -- everything you need to mount and secure your battery in one box.

Full Containment for Group 24 Batteries -- Ready to Mount Out of the Box

A loose or exposed battery is a safety hazard on the road and on the water. The Camco 55362 keeps your Group 24 battery fully enclosed, reducing the risk of acid spills, terminal corrosion from moisture, and vibration damage on rough terrain or in choppy water. The black polypropylene shell resists corrosion and UV degradation far better than bare metal brackets.

The included foot clamps and screws let you anchor the box solidly to your battery tray, compartment floor, or deck. The hold-down strap secures the battery inside the box, and the lift-off lid allows quick access for terminal checks, charging, and water top-offs without removing any hardware.

Corrosion-Resistant Shell

Heavy-duty black polypropylene resists battery acid, road salt, moisture, and UV exposure for long service life in exposed RV and marine compartments.

Complete Hardware Kit

Includes the battery box, lift-off lid, hold-down strap, two foot clamps, and four screws -- no extra trips to the hardware store required.

Group 24 Fit

Interior sized at 7-1/4" W x 10-3/4" L x 8" H with 2 inches of additional headroom above the battery top to clear terminals and cable connections.

USCG and ABYC Rated

Meets USCG CFR 183.420 and ABYC E-10.7 specifications, making it acceptable for marine installations where compliance is required by regulation.

What Is Included

Camco ships the 55362 as a complete kit. You receive:

  • 1 battery box (black polypropylene)
  • 1 lift-off lid
  • 1 hold-down strap to secure the battery inside the box
  • 2 foot clamps for anchoring the box to a surface
  • 4 screws for the foot clamp installation

No battery is included. No cables or terminals are included.

Why Foot Clamps Matter

On a towable or motorhome, a battery box that is not clamped down will shift under braking and cornering loads, wearing through cable insulation and stressing terminals. The included foot clamps anchor the base of the box directly to your mounting surface so it stays put mile after mile.

Compatible Battery Group Sizes

The 55362 is sized specifically for Group 24 batteries -- a common format used in RV house battery banks, marine starting applications, and backup power setups. Verify your battery's group size before ordering. Group 27 or Group 31 batteries will not fit this box; Camco offers separate larger-format boxes for those sizes.

Group 24 -- Common Applications

Group 24 flooded lead-acid, AGM, and gel batteries share the same footprint. This box accommodates all three chemistries. If you run a lithium drop-in replacement, confirm the physical dimensions match Group 24 spec before ordering (many lithium Group 24 replacements are dimensionally identical).

RV and Marine Use Cases

The USCG CFR 183.420 and ABYC E-10.7 compliance ratings make the 55362 suitable for enclosed marine engine compartments and bilge-adjacent installations where a rated battery box is required. For RV use, it works well in:

  • Exterior battery compartments on travel trailers and fifth wheels
  • Motorhome house battery bays
  • Truck bed or tow vehicle auxiliary battery setups
  • Pontoon boats, fishing boats, and other trailered watercraft
  • Generator battery enclosures
Installation Tips
  • Drill pilot holes before driving the foot clamp screws to prevent cracking the mounting surface.
  • Route cables through the box's built-in cable exit channels before clamping the battery in place.
  • Inspect the hold-down strap annually for cracking or UV degradation and replace if stiff or brittle.
  • Clean the interior with a baking soda and water solution if acid residue appears -- polypropylene resists acid but residue should be neutralized before it contacts your compartment floor.

Important Information
  • This box is sized for Group 24 batteries only. Do not attempt to fit Group 27 or Group 31 batteries -- they will not close properly and the hold-down strap will not seat correctly.
  • Always secure the foot clamps before use. An unsecured battery box can shift in transit, damaging terminals, cables, and surrounding components.
  • This box provides physical containment and protection -- it does not provide electrical isolation or explosion venting for hydrogen gas. Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed compartments per ABYC E-10.7 requirements.
  • Inspect the hold-down strap and clamps before each season. Replace any cracked, brittle, or deformed components immediately.
  • Battery acid is corrosive. Use proper PPE (gloves and eye protection) when working inside the box.
  • Limited 90-day warranty covers manufacturing defects only. UV degradation and acid damage from improper use are not covered.
