Washburn's Custom Aluminum Battery Box — for Full Throttle FT560 (26R)

Crafted from high-grade aluminum, this box is precision-formed to fit the unique stepped profile of the FT560. The design features a sleek, wrap-around top plate that maintains full access to your terminals while keeping the battery locked firmly in place. We build this one in-house at our Orange, California shop — precision-formed, inspected, and packed here rather than ordered out of an overseas catalog.

The integrated mounting base features a wide flange with pre-drilled holes, making it easy to bolt directly to your floor pan, trunk, or custom frame table setup. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built to withstand the rigors of both off-road environments and performance street use.
