Have at it if you like but you are fixing a non-existent problem. If it was necessary to seal it, the box would have come that way.

The box is vented to the outside with two 1.5 - 2 inch dia hoses. An inverter / charger is also mounted in that storage cabinet. I really don't want hydrogen gas building up in the compartment. Since the box does not seal by design, I normally wrap a few turns of duct tape around the box. I do have a watering kit installed so I really don't have to access to batteries that often. I just thought there might be a better way of doing this. It is not a round hole in the box, it is more of a slot maybe 1 inch wide 1 3/4 deep with a flat on the top. Just wondering if some one had come across something that was made for that box.

You may be able to find something which can be glued along the inside edge of the top, so that it seals when the lid is pulled tight by the hold down straps. That would eliminate the need for duct tape. It also shouldn't be hard to find some closed-cell foam which can go around the cables and fill that gap. Maybe cut a chunk off one of those floating pool "noodles."

Why do you feel that it needs to be sealed that well? Unless you are using an AGM battery the box needs to be vented. If an AGM or other sealed battery there is no need for a tightly sealed container.
