Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need a vented box? For sealed lead-acid, venting is seldom needed. For flooded batteries, or continuous high-current discharge, ensure there's adequate ventilation.
• Are all boxes waterproof? Only select models are weather-sealed. Look for gasket lids, cable glands, and IP ratings where required.
• Can I collect a box from a branch? Yes - check live stock or arrange transfer between Samrand, Pretoria, and Cape Town branches.
