See full version: Why You NEED A Marine Battery Box
Impact Resistance to -40 here
Lead acid batteries should be used with a box to prevent acid from spilling out into your boat if the battery becomes damaged. Lead is a very toxic metal that can be absorbed by your body and the environment. There is also sulfuric acid in these batteries which can be very corrosive . Yet still people question whether they really need one if they plan to use a sealed battery. The answer is; you may not need to, but it is always good boating practice to use one. The box will have many features that protect the battery and your boat, not to mention the fact that they provide a safe vent to divert the gases that may be produced by your battery during recharges. The only time that you really may not need to have a battery box is if you have a double-walled battery on your boat. The extra wall will protect the battery from damage and prevent gases from becoming a concern.

Battery boxes are a good choice for any boat. In fact some areas may even require them. As a general rule of thumb, if you have a commercial boat, a battery that sits near electronics, batteries located in a small cabin, OR any type of boat that may have multiple batteries you will likely need an approved battery box or marine battery tray. more
If you do not want marine battery boxes on your boat, you may be able to get away with a double walled battery. You should check with the state and/or your boat’s manufacturer to find out if a double wall will suffice. here

We are adding a second battery to our Scarab 215 for the stereo. About the only place is either under one of the rear side seats, or maybe the port console. I am sure there will be things stored in both places, should we get a battery box or is a tray usually sufficient with “boots” on the posts?
