Replacement Battery Mats

The battery mat included with the Power Armor Battery
Box is acid neutralizing, and will help reduce any corrosion
from spilled battery acid. It is a “wear” item and may
eventually need to be replaced. New battery mats are
available through Torklift International. Part numbers
below.

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 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 you plan to use for the battery strap.

Step 2:

On one side of the Power Armor Battery Box, insert the non-buckled end

of the Battery Strap down through the one of the slots you plan to use and

back up through the other slot (see figure 2.1 for slot locations.) Leave

approximately 10” of the buckled end inside of the box.

Depending on mounting, the battery strap 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

towards either the front or back as long as there is sufficient room to open

and remove the Power Armor Lid.

The A7720R and A7720RS power armor battery boxes may be mounted in

two ways.

Option 1: Universal mounting Page 4

Option 2: Mounting over the stock angle rails Page 5

Step 3 – Option 1

Place the Power Armor Battery Box on top of the mounting surface. Mark

four to six locations in the box where it will screw down, and drill a 3/16”

pilot hole in each. Use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drilling Screws and 1/4" SS USS

Flat Washers to screw the Power Armor Battery Box down onto the
surface. See figure 3.1. Place a 7/16” square profile O-ring around the

head of each screw to protect the battery mat from abrasion.

1/4”-20 x 1” SS Hex Bolts, 1/4" USS SS Flat Washers, and 1/4”-20 SS

Nylock Nuts have been included if you would prefer to use them instead of

the self drill screws. If using the hex bolts, the holes will need to be drilled

to 1/4” instead of 3/16”.

Proceed to step 4.
