Why choose Home of 12 Volt Online for battery boxes?

Not all setups are created equal. Selecting the best battery box comes down to how long you’re off-grid, what you need to run and how you plan to recharge. For weekend getaways, a basic unit with Anderson plugs may do the job. For longer trips or high-demand appliances, a more advanced lithium battery box with DC charging is a smarter choice.

We offer models to suit every scenario — from compact base models to fully integrated systems with solar input, digital screens and heavy-duty terminals.

Home of 12 Volt offers the largest range of battery boxes on the Australian market.

We manufacture locally. Every battery box is assembled by hand right here in Australia using premium-grade components. That means you’re getting gear built for local conditions — not generic imports.

Our solutions are designed to fit dual battery systems in new model vehicles where under-bonnet installs aren’t possible. With flexible mounting, solar compatibility and tailored features, you can build a setup that’s efficient, durable and cost-effective.

You can ditch the generator entirely by switching to a 12v battery box.

Available in multiple configurations, with options to include a PROJECTA or REDARC DC-DC charger for your new model vehicle and solar charging setups.

What is a battery box?

The battery box is a simple alternative to a portable power system such as a generator. It is designed to house your AGM or Lithium battery and allow you to run everything on 12 volts directly from the multiple outlets on the box.

What makes a lithium battery box different?

A lithium battery box delivers faster charging, lighter weight and deeper discharge rates than traditional AGM setups. They’re perfect for energy-hungry gear like portable fridges, water pumps and lighting systems. Our lithium-compatible models support both vehicle and solar input via in-built DC-DC chargers, ensuring maximum performance in every condition.

Need more flexibility? We also stock bare boxes, battery bundles and accessories so you can tailor your system as your needs grow.

What is a battery box used for?

A battery box is a versatile power solution that can be used in various applications, from camping to off-grid living and even as a portable power source for tailgating or fishing trips. They are a simple and effective way to store and manage your batteries while providing a centralised location to connect your appliances and accessories.

Whether you're powering lights and fridges in your caravan battery box setup or running a portable camping battery box for weekend getaways, these innovative devices offer a reliable and convenient way to keep your gear powered up and ready for adventure.

Can I install a Lithium battery in the box?

Our range of battery boxes can house all types of chemistry batteries from AGM, GEL, WET and LITHIUM.

When choosing Lithium batteries, it is best to couple this type of chemistry with a Lithium DC Battery Charger to promote optimum charging.

Thumper offers a range of Lithium battery boxes that incorporate an in-built lithium-compatible DC Battery charger directly into the box! The DC charging will offer both vehicle and solar input to allow for the best possible charge rate to be achieved to extend the life of your Lithium Battery!

Can I run 240 Volt power from the battery box?

The Thumper battery boxes do not provide a direct 240-volt output as a standard connection. However, it can be coupled with a wide selection of Inverters that allow you to run 240-volt power! Need more advice on this? Contact us directly for help.

Connect up to a 600-watt Inverter directly to the 50-amp Anderson on the battery box, or if you are running larger capacity inverters, check out our DC Battery Boxes with a Redarc Battery Charger and 175-amp Anderson connector!

Can I charge a battery box for 240 volts?

Home of 12 Volt Online offers several packages that include the option of a 240-volt battery charger. For standalone packages without this charger, we usually recommend the Victron range of battery chargers with an Anderson connector fitted. The Anderson fits easily within the battery box and allows for a quick connection to replenish your battery's charge condition.

The most common option for use with a battery box is the Victron 10 Amp Battery Charger with an Anderson connector. However, we offer larger capacity chargers for those looking to charge their batteries faster!

Is a battery box waterproof?

While most battery boxes are designed to be weather-resistant, their degree of protection can vary depending on the brand, model and materials used. Some portable battery boxes are specifically designed to be waterproof, featuring sealed lids, gaskets and waterproof connectors. However, battery boxes should suffice for most camping and caravans as long as they're not submerged in water.
