No,25 1/2 is max. If you think the plywood box is an accident in waiting, you should see the plastic step. chuckle. We were supposed to leave for Quartsite last Thursday but the axels ran three days over, things always do. The batteries got stolen from their plastic boxes, so I'm welding an lockable checkerplate aluminum box. I have plenty of height, now. It's my first try with aluminum.
I know what you mean. With cordless cut off tools now days, there isn't much that cant be stolen. As far as designing your battery box I would try to make it difficult to get to the lock. It may be more difficult for you to unlock it but it may be enough that they cant snip or grind the lock off. I did it to a battery box on a TT and made a 2 in wide strap of steel that went underneath by the tongue jack. It would be difficult to get in there to cut it. I think master makes some recessed type locks that you may be able to fabricate around.
