The battery box is designed to keep any leaking acids within the battery box.
You should have asked before drilling the holes. Now a acid leak can leak onto the trailer frame, ground, or anything around it.
I was going to suggest that you check the battery box water by adding a tablespoon of baking soda to the battery box, and if it is acid that leaked from the battery, it would foam up, and help neturalize the water, so it will not eat the pavement, or disolve any paint the battery acid gets onto. If the water was only rain water, the baking soda will not damage anything, and can be drained onto the ground.
My battery box bottom is water tight, and I like it that way! I don't know why you don't have a leak resistant cover, the tie down straps usually go below the top of the lid, and not have open sections to allow in water.
