I've been googling for hours trying to find a tiny Marine battery box, but have been unsuccessful. Here is the battery I have:

Amazon.com : 12V 12AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for Hoveround Activa Wheelchair : Electronics

With the small size Attwood box I have, I take up about 1/3 of the entire box. Trying to tuck this battery up under the bow of my 12' boat, so I'd like to find something that just fits it perfectly. Any ideas? Seems impossible to find a box to fit a battery smaller than a car battery. Thanks.

What exactly are you expecting that battery to do?

Any small plastic box will serve the purpose.
Consider using a Tupperware or Glad-Ware Food Container.
Cut a hole for the wires in the location of your choice.

Not a bad idea. Wasn't sure how important it was that the box was made out of PP like every other battery box out there.

The only reason for the box is for neatness and it keeps the battery terminals from getting shorted. Nothing marine about them.
