If a battery box is to be placed in an accessible location, then it is necessary that it has a means to avoid unauthorized access, like a lock. If the batteries are in a room without a battery box, it is necessary that the room itself be locked to avoid unauthorized access. A battery box should not be become means for storage - adequate space should always be left so that the lid can easily be opened without the need to move other items. Many batteries come with a rubber or plastic cover for the terminals, this can be a useful safety measure to prevent accidental short-circuits from accidents like tools being dropped across the terminals.
