Inventory List A7706R / A7708R - A7711R / A7712R A7706RS / A7708RS - A7711RS / A7712RS Item: Quantity: Power Armor Battery Box Power Armor Lid Angle Extension Battery Mat 26” (A7706R / A7708R - A7706RS / A7708RS) Battery Mat 23.5”...
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 four slots cut into the bottom of the box.
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 to either the front or rear of the trailer as long as there is sufficient room to open and remove the Power Armor Lid.

Step 3: Option 1 Place the Power Armor Battery Box on top of the trailer A-frame. Mark each corner of the box where it will screw down into the trailer A-frame, and drill a 3/16” pilot hole. Use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drilling Screws and 1/4"...
Step 3: Option 2 Measure the mounting width required for the rear of the Power Armor Battery Box. Insert one 1/4"-20 x 1” SS Hex Bolt with one 1/4" SS USS Washer into two of the “Long Side Holes” on each side of the battery box. (see figure 0.1) Secure the Angle Extension Brackets to the box with one 1/4"...

Side View- Figure 3.2 Drill a 3/16” pilot hole and use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drill Screws to secure the outside of each Angle Extension Bracket to the A-frame of the trailer. To keep the Power Armor Battery Box level, use two 1/4" SS USS Flat Washers as a shim under each of the front corners of the Power Armor Battery Box.
Step 3: Option 3 Place the Power Armor Battery Box between the factory battery support rails. Drill a 3/16” Pilot hole in each corner of the Power Armor Battery Box and through the battery support rails. The existing holes in the battery box can be used if they are placed appropriately for your application.
Step 3: Option 4 Begin by drilling two 1/4” holes in each of the battery support straps. For A7706/A7708 Battery Boxes, the holes should be 25-1/4” apart. For A7711/A7712 Battery Boxes, the holes should be 22-3/4” apart. (see dimension “X” in figure 3.5) X

Figure 3.6 Insert one 1/4"-20x 1” SS Hex Bolt with one 1/4" SS USS Flat Washer into all four “Short Side Holes” on the Power Armor Battery Box. Place one 1/4"x 5/8”x 1/4” Nylon Spacer between the battery box and Angle Extension Brackets.

Step 4 Reinstall the Battery Mat and Batteries. To prevent any possible contact between the battery terminals and lock, the battery terminals should be oriented towards the side of the box with the 2” hole. Tightly secure the batteries with the battery straps. Step 5 The Power Armor and Power Armor Solar battery boxes are capable of supporting multiple battery configurations.

Step 5: Option 1 Insert the positive and negative battery cables into the box through the 2” hole. Connect the positive battery cable to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the negative battery cable to the negative terminal on the battery.
