Would a boat battery box work?

If its 12 volts I would just use a sealed gel cell battery and skip the box.

12 volt? I have not come across a trail cam that runs on 12 volt, most seem to be 6 volt (4 D size) or 9 volt (6 D size). Are you planning to use something to step down the voltage?

I have 3 Moultrie 4.0s that take 6 d-cell batteries and a new Moultrie 6.0 IR that takes 6 c-cell batteries and the new one says 12v dc right next to where the plug would go in.

I just throw mine on the ground next to the tree. No box needed.
Also, if you need 6v, they make them in SLA batteries too.
