Battery Box

I guess in Illinois you have to have a battery box. I have two small battery trays , they only come up about 1" on all sides , but it has a strap that goes under the tray and around the top of the battery. Would this work you think ? There is no cover on top.

Boat Battery (625 ILCS 45/4-10)

It is unlawful to operate a motorized vessel equipped with a storage battery unless the battery is secured against shifting. The battery must be equipped with nonconductive terminal shields to prevent accidental shorting.

Sounds like those will do the trick, as long as the terminals are covered somehow too
