Default What battery box?...

Lol...

What battery box should I get? The classic Moroso blue box or an aluminum one? They cost almost the same...

Both would look sweet. I like low key so I'm thinking the alum. one...

Thanks.

aluminum....

Did You Know?

Aluminum has a melting point of 660.37°C, boiling point of 2467°C, specific gravity of 2.6989 (20°C), and valence of 3. Pure aluminum is a silvery-white metal. It is soft, light, relatively nontoxic, with a high thermal conductivity, and high corrosion resistance. It can be easily formed, machined, or cast. Aluminum is nonmagnetic and nonsparking. It is second among metals in terms of malleability and sixth in ductility. Aluminum coatings are highly reflective of both visible and radiant heat. The coatings form a thin layer of protective oxide and do not deteriorate like silver coatings.
