[0007] In some embodiments, a partition is formed inside the upper cover, and the partition divides the upper cover into two parts.

[0008] In some embodiments, power cord inlets are provided on corresponding sides of the upper cover.

[0009] In some embodiments, isolation ribs are formed on both sides of the battery compartment, and the isolation ribs extend vertically upward from the bottom of the battery compartment.

[0010] In some embodiments, it is characterized in that a plurality of drainage holes are opened on both sides of the bottom of the battery compartment, and the drainage holes are arranged between the ventilation slot and the isolation rib.

[0011] In some embodiments, the battery box is adapted for 24V or 36V batteries.

[0012] In some embodiments, fixing bracket mounting grooves are formed on the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present application proposes an electric off-road vehicle, comprising a frame, a platform formed on the frame, and a motor and a battery box structure as described in any one of the first aspects mounted on the platform.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] 1) Several ventilation slots are opened on both sides of the battery box to achieve ventilation and heat dissipation effects. Isolation ribs are set in the battery compartment close to the ventilation slots to effectively block rainwater and mud from splashing into the battery compartment through the ventilation slots. Furthermore, several drainage holes are opened between the isolation ribs and the ventilation slots to discharge rainwater and other impurities out of the battery compartment to prevent them from affecting the normal use of the battery.

[0016] 2) By integrating the shift switch, power switch, instrument, charging port and other control and display components on the battery box, users can directly complete operations such as turning the machine on and off, adjusting the gear, checking the instrument readings and charging on the battery box without having to find and connect multiple independent components.
