Camco RV Battery Boxes: Group 24, 27/30/31 & Dual Battery Guide
Camco RV Battery Boxes: Choose by Battery Group and Venting
A battery box needs to accommodate the actual battery, secure it against movement and suit the compartment's ventilation requirements. These five Camco part numbers differ in battery group, quantity and enclosure design.
Camco battery box comparison
| MPN | Battery group and quantity | Enclosure | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55362 | One Group 24 | Single battery, strap-secured | Standard Group 24 |
| 55370 | Two Group 24 | Side-by-side vented enclosure | Vented dual Group 24 |
| 55371 | One Group 24 | Single vented enclosure | Vented single Group 24 |
| 55372 | One Group 27, 30 or 31 | Single battery, strap-secured | Large single battery box |
| 55374 | Two GC2 or two Group 24/24M | Double battery box | Double GC2 / Group 24 |
Battery group is only a starting point. Compare your battery's actual case dimensions, terminal height, cable clearance and the available mounting space with the exact box specifications. Group labels alone do not confirm a safe fit.
How to select the right enclosure
- Count and identify the batteries: select a one- or two-battery enclosure, then check each battery's case size. GC2 golf-cart batteries are not the same shape as Group 24 starting or deep-cycle batteries.
- Check the space: allow room for the enclosure, lid, mounting and cable exits. Measure both the battery and the compartment; do not rely on the group designation alone.
- Check venting: the 55370 and 55371 are vented enclosure designs. A battery that releases gas may require a purpose-designed external vent route in an enclosed space. A covered box is not necessarily a gas-tight or externally vented installation.
- Secure and protect the battery: route cabling to avoid rubbing and accidental shorts. Confirm hold-down hardware, required ventilation and service access against the RV or boat manufacturer's instructions.

Battery box questions
Will a Group 24 battery fit every Group 24 battery box?
Not without checking dimensions. Battery cases, terminals and hold-down arrangements can differ. Confirm the exact box's usable space and sufficient terminal clearance.
What is different about 55370 and 55374?
Both accommodate two batteries in specified groups, but 55370 is listed as a vented dual Group 24 enclosure. The 55374 is a double box for two GC2 or two Group 24/24M batteries. Check the specific venting, dimensions and mounting requirements rather than treating these models as substitutes.
Does a battery box replace the need for ventilation?
No. Where battery chemistry and the installation location require venting, follow the battery and vehicle manufacturers' requirements for ventilation, enclosure placement and ignition-source separation.
Disconnect battery power before working on the enclosure. Protect exposed terminals, use appropriately rated wiring and fusing, and follow the battery manufacturer's installation and ventilation guidance.
