EarthX Multi-use Battery Box Dimensions

[JordanGrant]

After searching on VAF and the EarthX website, I could never find the actual dimensions of the mounting holes for the EarthX battery boxes. I just received mine, so I'll post the data here for others that may need it.

Model: BB-MU "Multi Use Battery Box for E case or PC680"

There are 6 holes in the aluminum mounting box, arranged in the same manner as the RV-7 "standard" firewall-mounted battery box, i.e. two vertical rows of 3 holes each. I don't know if the dimensions are the same, though, so I'll just put them here for reference:

The two vertical rows are spaced 8" apart. The top holes are 2" from the middle hole. The bottom hole is 2 5/16" down from the middle hole.

I'll even try to do a little ASCII drawing to depict it:

O <--- 8" ---> O

2"

O <--- 8" ---> O

2 5/16"

O <--- 8" ---> O

Hopefully that's helpful to someone else deciding what battery box to order.

Did you call them and ask? Their customer support is great.

I've heard nothing but great reports about customer support. I have not called, but I'm sure they would be happy to give that info over the phone if I did. Maybe my post above will save someone the trouble of making that phone call, though.

Cheers,
