Been busy for a couple days. Appreciate the responses. Called Bogert and they DO make a very good looking battery box. No STC though. Will have to get field approval. Someone is already flying around with a field approved model. I will be talking to my IA. They will send pictures if interested and seem ready to assist with the process.

I have the Bogart box

I have the Bogart box. Installed it back in March and got the field approval via my IA. We love it!! He used our old fiberglass box as a template. It was still good we just wanted to upgrade the box and all the battery cables. I've got pics I can try to send later if you want.

Picture looks great. I have contacted Aviation Enterprises to compare. They confirm they still make a fiberglass battery box and lid replacement. Waiting on their response for pictures and price.

Still cleaning up some corrosion issues so a good sealing box that vents overboard most desirable.

Sep 2020 update

I contacted Aviation Enterprises about composite battery box. Was quoted this:

’75-80 model Skymasters
Base = 1550247-1 ($1,225.24 Cessna old price- now is discontinued)
Our price for new composite $895.00
Lid = 1550247-3 Our price for new composite: $395.00

Bogart Aviation site has their Cessna boxes starting around $1100. Didn’t see one listed for the Skymaster.
