Some of our members have built a box (for various purposes) that lives in the A-frame up front. The thread would probably be in the Exterior forum, but might be in Tips and Tricks. At any rate, a few minutes with the Search tool should bring up several discussions.
We've seen mention of several heavy plastic boxes that are designed to accept two batteries, but I don't recall seeing one with a partition. I might hesitate to put tools in the same enclosure as a battery, because the occasional fine mist of battery acid (the reason battery terminals eventually corrode) might do some damage to the tools. But I admit I have not tried it.
If you find or make a solution, let us know. I bet it would be popular.

thanks bill. I appreciate your advice. prior to posting this I used google and the search on this site. the search did not yield any results. do you have to search while in the exterior section to get a result? I searched "battery box"

NOCO makes what they call a size 24-31 that uses a partition. Its intended for the the different size batteries. But like Bill I wouldn't want to place any hand tools in with the battery.

Take a look at this thread. HarveyRV did a solar installation and in Post #39 he shows both a double wide battery box and his cutoff switch.
Read the whole thread too, there is a lot of good information there...
