Anyone know where I can get a decent battery box (waterproof obviously) around Dublin?

Marine parts direct in Swords do them. Any battery box I've had, has just been splash proof, and let in a small dribble of water. As far as I know battery boxes cannot be airtight as dangerous gasses may accumulate and ignite.
